    Anyway, these picks any good?

    Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - Retail £167.99
    http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...odid=CP-404-IN
    Sapphire Radeon R7 260X OC 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (11222-06-20G) £119.99
    http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...odid=GX-329-SP
    Samsung 120GB SSD 840 EVO SATA 6Gb/s Basic - (MZ-7TE120BW) £79.99
    http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...odid=HD-167-SA
    Gigabyte Z77-HD3 Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard £79.99
    http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...odid=HD-167-SA
    Yep, but it's triple channel so has no guarantee of working. Plus that'd be 4GB which is 4GB less than recommended.

    If you're spending that much on a CPU you might as well go for the latest socket (1150), and the K series is only worth it if you're going to be overclocking.

    Try and fit a 270X into your budget. The 260X isn't very good tbh.

    Best SSD on the market. Same size as mine that easily fits Windows and BF4.

    That motherboard link takes you to the SSD again.

        And cheaper options if this is an area you wish to save in.

              Still don't think you should be buying in to the older of the two current Intel sockets. There isn't many motherboards to choose from for that socket either.

                            Sirex, give me a list of your exact parts you want to keep (make and model), then the parts you need. Guessing the £500 budget is max top end you can go? No wriggle room if you waited a couple of weeks for extra funds?

                                As for funds i can prob push some more over time.
                                5 is the aim, but can go more if need be.
