Yes, you're spending 3 times more than you need to be on a PSU. I think the gpu is over priced as well. Why 8GB of RAM?

Yeah prices are very high, where you getting them from?

we usually shop from hardwareversand.de here

the kind of money you seem interested in spending perhaps consider a new sandy core system?
processor - i5 2500k

much faster than anything AMD has at the mo

Great guys thanks or help, I was looking at Komplett for prices, Had no access in work to the other site, I always was told to stick towards amd because intel was so overpriced but if your recommending I might look into that.

Was hoping to get a decent gaming pc out of about 1100 to 1200 for the build, I have the keyboard and mouse.

Do you know about the Wifi being built in to the motherboard or do I need to purchase a wifi card?

Sometimes in the highend boards, but you'll usually need to buy it. I would recommend that you try homeplugs instead of wireless.

AMD are usually cheaper than Intel, but they haven't got anything in the performance range of your budget.

Saw this GPU on scan:

http://www.scan.co.uk/products/1536mb-kfa2-gtx-480-oc-40nm-3800mhz-gddr5-gpu-760mhz-shader-1520mhz-480-cores-2x-dl-dvi-mhdmi

This is an OCed GTX 480 with an effective and quiet (but large!) custom cooler, should perform somewhere closer to a GTX 580. It'll fit in a 922 with ease, and the airflow in that case should handle the air from the card.

This one too is a nice performer for the price:

Get a bit lost when it comes to the GPU, Kinda wanna run first person shooters so will need to be able to handle the latest Call of duty this year and stuff, hopefully they should be good to keep up with everyone else

A 560 would be enough for HD resolutions. The 480 would be better but it is very high on the power consumption and you could end up spending more on the long run.
