    Bitfenix Alpha | 32.16
    8GB-Kit G.Skill PC3-10667U CL9 | 37.72

    Get the 7850 instead of the GTX 560ti, and swap the 128GB SSD for a 64GB SSD + 500GB HDD?

    As I'm only 720p , with if I were to relegate myself to a 6870? That would save 70 quid, then save 40 for the 64gb SSD and buy a 500 for 60? That would leave me at 730, is that a good option?

    Yeah that's a good idea, didn't realise it was only 720p. You could drop down to a 7770 and still get great frame rates if you wanted.

    Nah, my mate has a 6870 and it's brilliant at 1080p. I think I'll go with that then. Thanks! Now to amass the cash.
