Ok so I was advised to hold back on my first build and get a haswell build :) so could someone advise a build for 800-850 pounds for gaming at ultra on games such as br3 and 4(when it comes out) chris 3 etc .

I don't need monitor OS or anything just the PC . Only uk websites please

Plus I need a DVD drive and wireless connector thanks

( if this is the wrong section please move as I couldn't find a specific forum for PC building requests)

Pretty much this but instead of the m-atx board grab the regular MSI z87 g43 board and instead of buying that overpriced case grab the NZXT source 210 which is literally the same exact case but cheaper.

How much performance difference is there between that gpu and the amd 7950 ?

The gtx770 has the same performance as a gtx680 but with that being said the 7950 will perform the same if not better in some select games but in most games the gtx770 will beat the 7950. The gtx770 is definitely worth it at only 360 where as my MSI 7950 cost me 320.

But the amd 7950 I was thinking of getting ( the sapphire vapour x ) will cost me 260 so I save 100 pound

Sorry didn't realize the links were in pounds lol if the 7950 is 100 less then it is a great choice. I LOVE my MSI 7950 (which I also reccomend you get instead of sapphire). I get great performance in games and it overclocks like a beast.

Here's a good video that shows the difference in a few games. 

Looks like its not worth the extra 100 pounds over the 7950

If you decide to go with the 7950 I really do recommend the MSI twin frozr 3 7950. Alot of people have issues with their vapor-x being voltage locked.

ok thanks for the heads up is there anyway you could link me one :)
