i5 2500k Build - Best parts for it?
Lonewolf5460:
Totally agree I just like giving him his options it wont overheat in a full tower but it will sound like a jet though. Thats why I was saying balance is key you got to take in account idle load and max load of your components so you can pick a power supply to fit the bill and be in its efficiency range. Same thing with thermals you have to take into account the size of your case and the components having enough breathing room.
Anyways Ill will edit this post with a relevant review on the graphics cards in your price range.
This one has a simple breakdown for your price range.

Here is a good break down of their performance on a per game basis

those charts... ati 6xxx fanboyism, if they considered pure price/performance they would've considered 5870 and 5950 on those charts.

True but I think they were breaking down AMDs portfolio and improvements from the previous gen, instead of a true comparison between Nvidia - AMD. I know he was looking at the HD series already so I figured it did not matter.

I personally recommend for a monitor the new Samsungs that are 27inch and 1080p you can find them for about 300 in the states. I do not know how much that would cost you or if you already have a 1080 monitor.
Also there really is not a major benefits besides bragging rights anything over upper mid range is just because you can. If you balance you components right you will enjoy your computer no matter what. Because if you can run all settings on high setting in a game at 1680 x 1050 your getting all the eye candy that a guy on a 2560 x 1600 rig sees. Either way so balance is key in any build on any budget.

In terms of monitor you were discussing something high-end for your client? would like that.
But I will get a 26-27inch Samsung, LCD/LED. 100Hz/200Hz. Full 1080p.

Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C8 8GB 1600MHz CL8 DDR3 Vengeance Memory Two Module Kit [£84.29] the vendor list is stupid enough to not include 2x4gb kits.
