    Then you're not going to be able to play Crysis that well. A PC on that budget will run Call of Duty 4 / World at War with relatively high graphics settings, but Crysis will have to be reduced severely to run on a system of that budget. Here's my revised parts list:
    http://www.ebuyer.com/product/148802
    http://www.ebuyer.com/product/148715
    http://www.ebuyer.com/product/150349
    http://www.ebuyer.com/product/130429
    http://www.ebuyer.com/product/124228
    http://www.ebuyer.com/product/143854
    http://www.ebuyer.com/product/120375
    http://www.ebuyer.com/product/151999

    That comes to around £370 including delivery.

    That would be a sweet build with the specs sammorris gave you, you'll love the Sapphire Radeon 4850 if you decide on going with that.. Also the Gigabyte-EP45-DS3 is a serious overclocker with a nice stable bios, i have the EP45-UD3P running a Q9550 Kensington and i couldn't be happier, it's smokin fast...

    sammorris, i remember you suggested the Sapphire 4850 on a previous thread and i took your advice and made the switch from a EVGA 8800GTX, this thing runs circles around my 8800GTX... The perfomance you get from the 4850 for under 200 bucks is simply incredible..

    Actually, the HD4850 is barely more than 100 dollars now :)
    The 4870 can be had for 200 dollars...

    Damn, i could have bought the 4870.. The card i bought was from Frys and it was the Visiontek HD 4850 for $199... They didn't have the Sapphire on there, that sucks for me..
