Asus P8Z77-V (£83)

i7 3770k 3.5ghz Quad-Core(£220)

Gainward GTX 670 (£180)

Corsair TX650V2 Enthusiast Series 650W (£75)

Seagate ST31000524AS 3.5 inch 1TB Hard Drive (£45)

£603 is the total cost.

My budget is £600, so, what do you think?

Should be a pretty solid rig assuming you already own some memory, an operating system, and DVD drive. If not you need all of those things.

Yeah, I assumed the RAM and such wasn't needed to post as it's all pretty simple

Just making sure you'd be shocked how many people don't list parts like that. Your powersupply should be plenty, and everything is compatable. Should be able to play anything you throw at it. I don't know how prices are in the UK but here I would build a haswell rig personally.It is a tad faster, and honestly will cost you maybe $30~$40 to build a comprable rig. Once again that premium might be more in the UK, but that is my only "suggestion"

Thanks for the suggestion, would you mind elaborating on the Haswell rig?

Change to these two parts (can pick any other Z87 motherboard as well) this is a newer processor than the one you picked its 3~7% faster clock to clock vs the one you picked. Not a huge difference but if I were building a new rig it would be haswell (the 4XXX series of intel processors)

no problem. Just no reason to build a generation old computer now, the price premium for the new version is nearly gone .
