This is and AMD/ATI system well within your budget. If you want to know what an extra £100 could get you or would prefer Intel/NVIDIA let us know.

 

[Jason Wan]

thanks ;D
but if i can waht could a Extra £100 do?

 

[Tom DWC]

You could up the graphics to a HD Radeon 5850. This is the next best thing to a 5870 which is a fantastic card. You might consider a Corsair PSU as well.

 

[Shibin]

You could take away dvd drive,card reader,make psu 450w and make the hdd caviar green(not much difference vs black). After doing this you probably save like £50. You can use this 50 and an extra 100 to make the gpu much better and have really good fps on max settings.

 

[Sleinous]

This wouuld be my suggestion, £4 over your max budget, but an absolute beast and will max every game you throw at it for a while to come!
