had a quick look, not seeing much in your price range with a gfx card fitted, although my dutch is a little rusty so I could be wrong


I came into this world with nothing,
through careful management I\'ve got most of it left.

Quick build
i suggest you build it yourself, you save a fair few bucks, and if you need help, im pretty sure some of the dutch guys are willing to help.

That system would certainly do the trick and matches your budget. You wouldn't struggle for performance unless you happen to have a very high resolution monitor. If your budget found itself a little larger (+£90) the next step up would be the i7 4770, but already you'll be able to run BF4 with this.

I'd put the extra cash (if you've got it) into the GPU, I don't think games will benefit from the extra CPU grunt compared to going up a class in graphics cards.

It does depend on what you like to do with your PC though :)

It's more because you can keep your existing hardware and just put in an additional GPU to boost performance down the line. To replace your CPU you have to take the old one and throw it away. It means in my book a GPU upgrade is an easier and cheaper option than a CPU one, essentially, I'd rather be GPU limited than CPU limited. Plus a little extra CPU grunt is good for all round system performance which doesn't hurt.

Note: I only run games at 1680x1050 because I've got an old monitor, it's much harder to be GPU limited with that resolution.

note there is also a number of downsides to sli/xfire. Hence not suggested.

and the benefits computing wise stepping up in CPU is negligible in most cases.

Are these prices ok? And do i need more parts then this?

Thanks for the help.

Yep, but in this case it is significant as the current CPU is positively ancient.

ofc compared to his current to 4670k, was merely commenting on the benefits moving from a 4670k to a 4770k, the performance gain does validate the extra costs when on a limited budget.

looks good, the windforce cooler on the graphics is a brilliant cooler, did a wonderful job on my old 7970. Memory looks good too, a bit more quality then what i posted, tho i aimed at lowest cost, but the extra bucks are well spent.
The PSU im unsure of, as by the looks of it, its manufactured @ channel well, which i tend to be a bit sceptical about. Tho it will probably do the job just fine.
