8 gb ram ddr3,
1tb hdd sata 2 1333mhz hdd,
amd rad hd 6770 1gb graphics,

- exactly what is your budget?
- do you also need to buy Windows or any peripherals?
- can you reuse any components such as hard drives? (plus you have 6850 in your sig)
- where will you be buying from?
- do you want to overclock?
- what monitor resolution do you play at?
- when do you want to build this?

god so many questions ,
My budget is £550
My current pc is over 7 years old so none of the components are viable now unfortunatley,
Yes i had 6850 in my sig , thats because that was one i was going to get , but i wanted a better cpu than the one i was going to get so i down graded my graphics card , i will get as better one as and when i can afford it,
Overclocking would be nice , but that ill look into once my system is up and running, as i want ot overclock the cpu as well,
monitor resolution will be 1280 by 1024, or what ever the graphics can handle,
and i want to build this next week of early the week after
