Hey all.
Sorry if This is spam posting or unnecessary however I Thought I'd post my Final Thoughts and stuff on my Budget Gaming PC here.
So I've done a little more research and listened To what you guys/mainly what PP Mguire and Stewie has said, seeing as They're The Two people who've posted quite a lot. And with The help of an old Friend, and when I say old I mean as in age. I was with the man Today and I asked him about my situation. He's been involved in PC designing and computer building etc his whole life. He's pretty much he's the definition of a PC-Tech God. So I asked him what parts I could possibly use, and not saying That The parts you guys/Mguire linked are bad, Because They're not and I'm probably going To be buying Them. I Just Thought I'd ask him seeing as it's his profession and I was right next To him. So here are a Few components he Told me That would be good For my budget which are pretty much most of The parts you suggested. I've moved my budget up to £700 seeing as all The upgrades I want/need are so damn expensive.

Gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H Socket 1155 ATX Motherboard.
Asus GTX 660 DirectCU II OC 2GB GDDR5 PCI-E GPU.

Hopefully I've copied Those down right, now most of Those words and numbers, I know what They mean, Thanks To what you've Told me. But I don't yet know exactly what They mean, as in my knowledge isn't yet There, so hopefully one of you guys can do the Maths and look into which of Those is better, I'd be very appreciative.
