Hello guys.

Have been reading around this section for quite a while now, gathering info about decent PC builds that go around these days.

Since Christmas is on the way (And my B-Day) I am looking around to do my "every second year" PC build.

The only part I have decided on at the moment is the CPU.
Intel i5 - 750.

Is it a good deal? I am open for suggestions.

However, I have no idea what to get for other hardware.....

I havent been keeping up to date with all the PC hardware and now lack in info....

The PC is used for everything. Gaming/Video-Photo editing/Music ect.

Also any Brits here, that could recommend a good online shop to purchase the parts?

Many thanks guys. Looking forward to your suggestions. :)

not gonna link to any case thats personal opinion on that. what you think looks good and someone else it totaly different.lol

not including the case. it is roughly $880 for what ive posted minus a few MIR. that does include the pice of the CPU as well

now if ya wany my opinion n a case i would go with the coolermaster 922 or the coolermaster storm scout.

hope this helps so. gives you a idea of things to looks for. as far as being in the UK and where to get the stuff i dont know. but im sure our resident UK guru Sammorris will wonder through here and can put his thoughts on this and be able to link you with some good sites for you to buy from.

The budget is around £400+. (Around $700?)

The build looks nice - I might have to drop the 5770 and go for something a bit cheaper to fit into my budget. But yeah, thanks.

Any other ideas?

Ta guys - Really helping me here.

Get a 5750 gpu and look for a 32 MB Cache SATA hard drive from WD. I might suggest a corsair psu over the coolmaster.
