Hello, back again! A few weeks ago I asked for a build, I got plenty and then complications happened on my behalf of buying the parts and now prices have changed etc.

I am now in need of a 800 GBP build purely for gaming.

I do not need a OS, Mouse & Keyboard or a Monitor, simply the build.

I also want the best performance for what I can get and not the bang for buck option where I could save a few pounds here and there whilst sacrificing a little bit of performance, sorry to ask for another build again.

Thanks a lot.

Thank you! I was reading up about the GTX 670 actually. Wouldn't it be better to go for an AMD build and try fit in a GTX 770 or something, from what I saw it's a lot faster than the GTX 670. Not really sure.

Well I did see how much cheaper an AMD build would be with a FX-8320 and a ASUS M5A99X EVO and it worked out around eighty pounds less.

The GTX670 & 770 from what i saw both use the GK104 chip so I can't imagine the performance difference is huge, some places say its like 5-10% difference. If you wanted the newer card and probably with a better cooler then the 770 probably has that but at a higher price.

Well I just tried to put a AMD build together on Scan and this is what I got, do you think this is decent?

If it was me i'd probably just get the 670 as the 770's are quite a bit more expensive and it'll still pull its weight. Probably a good idea to youtube videos of that card playing games you want to play to see how it performs.

If it was me i wouldn't go for an MSI board as some had problems and i wouldn't risk it to save a bit of money. Also if you got the GTX670 you'd have money to get an SSD which is essential in this day and age imo.
