That depends on how much you have to spend after you've sold the 680. You should sell it first and then we/I can help you pick parts for whatever budget you're left with.

Agreed but you may want to check if that 680 works, because you bought it very cheap.

i brought it brand new still in box with 12 month waranty

If you are serious about keeping that 680 then I would wait 2 weeks and get that 3570k and get a way better build. but honestly I would sell that thing for a 7970 since AMD's drivers are more optimized at the moment and their graphics cards have been getting more fps then Nvidia, or you could also get a 670. I currently have a 670 and it's a great card, but If I could now I would go with the 7970[/quote]

okay so if i sell the 680 overall i will have 770 gbp or 1180 dollars, what would you think will be the best build, thanks

I can come up with a build for you, give me about 15 minutes. I'm sure r00t can help you also.

thanks or shall i save up more and then go fro 680 build with i5 3570k?

I wouldn't I don't really feel that the GTX 680 is really worth the extra $100

okay, so what build do you have for me

Don't get the 3570K - you're getting a motherboard that won't support proper overclocking.

Sell the GTX 680. Buy a 7950, 3470, B75 motherboard, Crucial Ballistix Low Profile 1.35V @ 1600 Mhz DDR3 RAM and a case of your choice. Again, not something stupid, just something like a Zalman Z9+ or Source 210 w/ USB3.

I can run MW2 @ ultra in 1080p no problems, and I have a 7850. You're not going to be able to use the power of the 680 with a pentium. You should get a better CPU and downgrade the card. It was until recently the quickest single GPU card money could buy - powerful enough to run Crysis 3 (currently the most demanding game) in ultra @ 1080p.
