    Hey im looking to build a new pc. I know what i want but could use some advice on where the best place to buy the parts is or if there is somewhere i can get the pc built cheaper than buying the components and building it myself.

    The PC Im planning to build is £600-700 the lower the better :p

    Antec 300 Case

    Gigabyte GA-Z77M-D3H

    Intel I5 3570k

    Nvidia GTX 660

    8GB DDR3 [2x4GB]

    500w PSU

    500GB Sata HDD

    Feedback and suggestions are more than welcome this system will be used primarily to play GW2 on Medium/High in WVW Zergs thats why i have chosen a high end cpu so i dont have invisible invaders running around like i do on my current system. xD

    If anyone has personal experience with the graphics card and GW2 i would appreciate comments since its the only aspect im unsure about.

    Seems like a pretty solid build. I'm pretty sure most people would recommend www.scan.co.uk as your retailer - when you hit 25 posts you get free postage!
    Also, you should really post the exact model of PSU, and probably the HDD and RAM aswell.

    Which PSU are you going for?

    That GPU should run most games on high no worries.

    I recommend ebuyer generally speaking for PC parts.

    After more than one bad customer service experience I try to avoid scan as best I can these days.

    That seems pretty good already. You could swap the motherboard for a GA-Z77-D3H, which is the ATX version of the board you currently have on the list. You'd get more PCI-E slots and a VRM heatsink for the same price. Also make sure to get a proper branded PSU such as Corsair.

    As for where to buy, it depends on where you live. :)
