i5 2500K is practically the same price and is overclockable though.
There is about a £35 -£45 diffrents and if you use a discount code then for the two of them it's only £205

I find it's closer to around a £15 difference so it makes a lot more sense to get the 2500k, but then again the i5 3570k is £20 so then that becomes a much better solution!
but with a single mid range card the extra bandwidth is not needed anyways. on a tight budget might as well save £20 on cpu and put it towards gpuThe 3rd gene processors work the best on Z77 boards and let you use pci-e 3.0 aswell![]()
Thanks everyone for the help, the build I am most leaning towards is the one ObscureParadox made. I think for pure gaming performance this would be the best one to go for.
Gigabyte GA-A75-UD4 - £74.09 (Amazon)
AMD Athlon II X4 651K - £67.59 (Amazon)
Sapphire AMD Radeon 7850 2GB - £179.98 (Dabs)
Corsair 8GB Vengeance 1866MHz 9-9-9-24 1.5v - £46 (Ebuyer)
Corsair CX V2 500W - £44.76 (Ebuyer)
Seagate 1TB Barracuda SATA 6Gs/s 64MB Cache 7200RPM - £64.99 Dabs
ARIANET StealthX Type-R Black midi tower case - £31.99 (Yep you guessed it ARIA)![]()
I do Like the intel build that seumasbeathan made but I think that the graphics card and smaller HDD will hold me back.
Would the Asus F1A55-M LE MOBO support the Sapphire Radeon 7870?
he will regret it if he doesn'tSo your not going to go intel

I have decided to get an intel 2500k. What would be a good cheap micro atx motherboard for it?
Thanks
Yeah I want a smaller case. Unless a bigger motherboard will fit in a smaller case?

Why do you want such a small case?>
Get a midi case, and then get the MSI Z77A-G43
