Hello guys, here's the thing my current PC, a pre-built Packard Bell, while very good is getting old and no longer plays even the oldest games as it's burnt out the graphics chip and I thought that instead of replacing each part as it fails I'd finally move away from pre-built desktops and get my self a nice, shiny, new PC for me to do my gaming / school work on. Anyway I saw Tom's review for a budget <£600 PC and was disappointed to find that the bundle listed there has been discontinued by Aria. But I took a look around there site and have come up with a similar list costing me a grand total of £521.66, Being new to building a custom PC I thought I had better just check my list over with some experts and so here I am.

Here's my list:


So I'm wondering if this will play the latest games at mid - high while remaining relatively cool?
 
List looks good, seeing as the grand total is around £520 and i'm guessing your budget is around £600, I would recommend getting a 560 GTX and I found another PSU that might be worth having a look at.

Coolermaster GX 750watt

MSI GTX 560 Ti

This would put your total at around £575 as the GTX 560 Ti is only ~£55 more than the GTX 460 and offers better cooling and better overall performance.

Also i'm guessing you already have dvd writer + all other accessories.

The 560 TI is a good idea. However I would strongly disagree with the change in power supplies. The Corsair TX 650 that was mentioned in the first post is a great quality power supply that will easily be able to handle the 560. I really don't like Gigabyte's PSUs, because two of their power supplies destroyed themselves, while being in a friend's system.
