So my budget is £800 - I could stretch it if needed but i dont really want to go above that. I'm looking to build my first gaming PC and need help picking compatible components - here's some of the games I will be picking up in the near future: Battlefield 3 (would like to play on high settings), Fifa 12, The Old Republic

I think once i have compatible parts i'll be able to follow the guide on these forums - can anyone advise me a list of compatible parts please that would be able to run the games above smoothly please? :-)

Like the poster above said with your budget its not possible. I could build AMD Phenom II 955 build with a GTX 570 but a i5 2500K along with a GTX 560Ti would perform roughly the same but you will be more future proof with the 2500k. Its a build with best in its price range CPU and GPU... its a gamers PC, and will do just that for at least 2 years before GPU performance drops a lot in heavy tittles.
