That is a expensive christmas present....even factoring in birthday as-well.

Can your parents adopt me?

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/1ISER you might want to wait for the R9-280x to come to market

Ok , any news on the release date of the new cards because I was thinking maybe getting a 290 as I defo will not be able to get the 290x but I don't really want just a rebranded 7970 considering I've waited for like 4-5 months for the new cards to come out

Personally ATM I think the 770 isn't the best decision considering you can get 7970 for 240 pounds and toes cards are on par with each other

What do you think about this?
If you really want to hit 800-900 pounds, you can get a better cooler, an i7, more memory.
Or save some money and get another 7970
Hope you like this microAtx build
 
 
P.S.: how did you got that ssd so cheap?

Wait a bit longer. Plan after benchmarks and prices ripple from the new AMD cards.
