Ok made so many topics lately that gamespot will proly ban me so i do apologise gamespot if im making too many topics but you got to get PC right.

Any way i was going to get one from Overclockers but overclockers said that they dont build if you buy in parts and im not confident enougth to build my self. Overclockers said though if you choose in the systems and bundle section under gaming systems they said you could phone up and make changes to that system. My budget is £1400 MAX including VAT. This PC what looks close to mine is £1736.98p including VAT. I could get the total lower by alter a thew things but dont no if they would fit right. This is the PC what im going to phone up to change a thew things.

System Specification
Case: NZXT Phantom Enthusiast Full Tower Case - Black (default choice, options available) Power Supply: OCZ ZX 850 Gold Rated PSU CHANGE
CPU: Intel Core i7 3770K 3.50GHz Ivybridge overclocked to 4.50GHz
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard

This is what im going to change them to and if price gets below £1400 i will buy it.

PowerSupply: Antec High Current Pro 850W Modular '80 Plus Gold' Power Supply

CPU Cooler: Alpenföhn K2 Mount Doom CPU Cooler (Socket LGA1156/1155/1366/AM2/AM2+/AM3/AM3+/FM1)

Well I would change the cpu it a i7 2600k, save some money and keep the performance, and then you can change out that GTX 680 to a GTX 670 you wont see a difference at 1080,

He doesn't even need an i7 at all, the latest i5 would be more than enough. Changing to a GTX 670 is a good call since the performance is only slightly worse.

I think he's dead set on an i7, Most of us know that the i5's are 98% of what the i7's are.
