Congratulations - for entering twice you just got yourself disqualified. Try reading the rules and requirements next time.
 
Seeing as it's a 7770 I'm going with a budget build to match

CPU - Intel Pentium G860 3.00GHz for £47.94 (web only price)

Motherboard - GIGABYTE GA-B75M-D3H Intel B75 (Socket 1155) Micro-ATX Motherboard for £55.80

RAM - 8GB ( 2x4GB ) G.SKILL Sniper LV 1600MHz CL9 DDR3 for £37.19

Hard Drive - 500GB Seagate Barracuda ST500DM002 3.5" SATA III Hard Drive for £35.94 and Mushkin Chronos 120GB 2.5" SATA-III Solid State Hard Drive for £83.94

PSU - 520W Seasonic M12II-520 80PLUS Bronze Modular Power Supply for £61.19

CPU Cooler - Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 PRO Rev.2 Quiet CPU Cooler for £15.94

Case - Zalman Z9 Black Midi Tower Gaming Case for £37.20

Total - £375.14 (excl. delivery)

Solid budget build imo. Decent case, very solid PSU, luxury of an SSD, plenty of low profile RAM and a CPU that is a surprisingly strong option for gaming considering the price.
