So I am looking into building a PC and have 350 until next month where I will get 180 and spend it on a 7870. Could someone come up with a build for me please.
Preferably using amazon thanks.

There is no need for peripherals or windows just the system itself.

I'd suggest waiting until you get the extra 180 (USD, GBP, whatever it is) and building a more balanced PC.

I agree with r00t you don't want to spend less on other hardware and get a big graphics card.

Did you forget about an OS? You need that also...

That PSU is not needed. Try a 430w PSU.

If you're not getting the 7870 LE or XT, I'd suggest the 660. It also has lower power consumption and only one 6-pin PCI power connector.
