Howaye boys!

I posted a request on "Guide - The budget gaming pc" and IrishMetalHead gave me a top notch build that fits snugly within my budget.

I was new to pc building before taking on this project but ive learned a heap since.

To think, to me this looked awesome ; http://www.donedeal.ie/for-sale/computers/3505026 I was gonna fork over the hard earned cash but since comparing all the parts with IrishMetalHeads suggestions, the parts he picked are way superior.

Heres IMH's build ;

Total build cost: €572.15 + €18.99 shipping
8GB-Kit G.Skill PC3-10667U CL9 €37.72
LG GH24NS bare schwarz €16.43
Seagate Barracuda 7200 500GB SATA 6GB's €61.80
BitFenix Merc Alpha €32.16
Super-Flower Amazon 80Plus 550W €54.33
Intel Core i5-2320 Box, LGA1155 €164.32
Sapphire HD6870 1G GDDR5 PCI-E DL-DVI-I+SL-DVI-D / HDMI / DP €147.59
MSI B75MA-P45, Intel B75, mATX, DDR3 €57.80

If anyone would like to give any extra suggestions they will be warmly welcomed. I am willing to stretch my budget up to 650 euro so if yez see anything that could be changed and still fit within the budget let me know!


Thanks for readin!

I forgot to mention ;

I would absolutely love to play gta 5 on this machine when it eventually comes out?
Would this be possible?

I'd love to know more about what components of the computer are responsible for ensuring high quality at good frames per second but life has not offered me the time to learn up until now.

I'm pretty sure graphics card is key here, am i right?
