yh I got a GTX560 ti, my PC can run battlefield 3 and the PC costed me 640 pounds.

I would say yes its a good Graphics card but if you budget is 800 pound then go for a better one if you have the spare cash. It also depends if you are buying it as a built up one or are you building it yourself?

What PC Have you got? I'm looking for around 8GB Ram, I7 Proc.

The GTX 560 is a very good card for it's price!

Well for 800 pounds you could get something good, but you don't need an i7 processor. The i5 2500k is the same as the i7 2600k.. The only difference is hyper threading. For a gaming PC a 2500k is more than enough.

Since you didn't specify which currency do you have, I went into your youtube channel and I saw that you live in London (according to your channel) so I will use an UK parts retailer.

The parts retailer is scan.co.uk which in my opinion has the better prices.

I am including an aftermarket CPU cooler, and it comes with thermal paste. If you're worrying about the thermal paste application I would recommend the Pea method which you put a pea-size amount of thermal paste, you don't need to cover the whole CPU (of thermal paste) since the heat comes from the center of the CPU.

Parts:

8GB of Corsair's Low Profile RAM. Speeds are 1600MHZ.

i5 2500k, for a gaming PC you don't need an i7 processor, also the i5 2500k is a better choice than most i7 processors.

Hyper 212 EVO, this is the Aftermarket CPU cooler I talked to you before. You could easily Overclock to 4.3 GHZ stable at 36C Idle and 50C under full load. Without touching the voltages, just by changing the multiplier to 43.

ASUS P8Z68-V Gen 3 Motherboard, Great motherboard, does everything you need and more - Support for PCI Express 3.0

XFX 650W power supply - Great Power Supply, IMO the best looking one , Great brand.

Seagate 500GB SATA III Hard drive, I know, It's 500GB but the flooding in Thailand on the hard drives factories made the price go VERY high. So stick with 500GB until those prices drop.

GTX 560 ti 2GB card + Battlefield 3 free, Great card with great cooling.

DVD Burner, nothing much to say.

Corsair 400R Case - Well In my opinion the best case you can get for 75 pounds. Airflow, Cable management, Clean looking, Dust filters, makes your build faster and easier.

Here's a great review of the case.

Doesnt the 560 Ti require atleast a 650 watt power supply?
