Ok I will be using my PC for games such as GTA4 and Fallout and want to build a PC that will last a bit less than a year without upgrades.

I am using a 1600x1200 monitor. My budget is around £600.

 

Here is what I am going to get:

CPU:  AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor  (£85.99 @ Aria PC) 
CPU Cooler:  Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler  (£24.49 @ CCL Computers) 
Motherboard:  Asus M5A97 R2.0 ATX  AM3+ Motherboard  (£72.96 @ Amazon UK) 
Memory:  Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory  (£53.00 @ Amazon UK) 
Storage:  Seagate Momentus XT 750GB 2.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive  (Purchased For £0.00) 
Video Card:  MSI Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB Video Card  (£169.99 @ Aria PC) 
Wireless Network Adapter:  TP-Link TL-WN822N 802.11b/g/n USB 2.0 Wi-Fi Adapter  (£13.34 @ Amazon UK) 
Case:  BitFenix Shinobi ATX Mid Tower Case  (£49.90 @ Amazon UK) 
Power Supply:  Corsair CX 600W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V Power Supply  (£59.99 @ Aria PC) 
Operating System:  Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit)  (£65.99 @ Aria PC) 
Total: £595.65
 
I am going to take the hard drive out of my laptop and use that. This also gives me the flexibility to add another 7870 in the future.
 
Would you recommend any final adjustments?
 
Thank You

If you are using a 1600x1200 resolution you dont need a 7870. Get a HD 7790(2GB version)/GTX 650 Ti Boost and buy a 1080p monitor. I would recommend this monitor:

The rest of the build is well balanced.

CPU: AMD FX-6100 Black Edition @3.9GHz GPU: XFX 7970 DD (1062/1520 MHz) MOBO: ASUS Sabertooth 990FXA(1st Revision) RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB @ 1333MHz Storage: Corsair Force 3 120GB(Boot) + WD Green 1TB(storage) PSU: FSP AURUM 600W(80+ Gold) CPU Cooler: Cryorig M9a  Case: NZXT Tempst 410 Elite(Mid-Tower) Mouse: Logitech G602(Manufacturer Refurbished) Keyboard: Noppoo Choc Mini(Cherry MX Blue) AUDIO:Sennheiser HD 598+ASUS Xonar DGX Monitor: LG M2280DF 21.5" 1080p(TN-75Hz)

What he means is that the power of the card fails to keep up with anything that would potentially use up 2gb so that the 2gb version would be pointless.
