This would be my 1st 'build from scratch system'.Usually i just upgrade my system,but this system is getting so old that it ain't worth upgrading more.

I hope my fellow forumer would help me and tell me if this is an optimal part and whether i should change any of it.My budget is around £600.My build are towards gaming. I will be gaming on one 1366x768 monitor.

Here is my part list

Nice build the only thing that I would say is that you may want to try an get your self an ssd - its makes a huge difference in performance for an extra £80 !!

What case are you planning on putting it in ??

FX-4100 @4.5ghz // Club3d 7870 @1240 mhz // Sabertooth 990fx // 8GB Vengance Ram

OCX 120GB SSD // Segate Barracuda 2tb HDD // XFX 850 Watt PSU // H80i

That's what I'd do. Drop to a 500w PSU (you could even go with 430w, but whatever), get a 7870 XT (they are pretty close to a stock 7950 when OCed), and spend a a little more to get a Caviar Black. But other than that you build looks great! Also, you didn't list a case.

So I assume you have a case.

Ya,i do have extra case,so i am planning of using it . The reason i did not go for ssd is because i on tight budget,so i rather go for storage than speed.I will add ssd when i have extra money.

I think i gonna go with blade of grass setup.Never thought you could squeeze 7870xt in there.

Thank for your help
