Are you planning on OC'ing at all? Will have to change motherboard if you are

power supply unit. If your trying to build a gaming PC in an office desktop case, I hope you live in the north pole otherwise you could be cooking breakfast on it.

Why you using maplins? They cost far more than they need to be.

And the 650 is a very basic graphics card btw

 
A DB set up i7 intel processor on a mis motherboard, Nvidia 720 graphics card, 16Gb ram, 2x 1Tb sata hard drives, the price was slightly cheaper than the divorce it nearly caused.

it will play anything and I have it hooked up to twin 20" samsung lcd monitors but made the mistake of putting windows 8 on it.

most of the bits came from www.novatech.co.uk

It's not a office desktop case, it was a custom build for a workstation.

 
and where would be a good place to get the parts I want (or better) in my budget?

 
Ok, you don't want to hear this, but if you don't know what a PSU is, don't build your own computer. Seriously, just don't.

Go to novatech.co.uk and buy a pre built one, for best price--performance I recommend an intel i5 processor and an AMD Radeon HD7970 or better. The GeForce card you linked earlier would struggle with last years games, let alone modern ones.

I agree with this so very much,

 
psu (power supply unit) you could have just said power supply

 
what would the minimum for playing games like battlefield be in the Geforce range?

and i have decided on the AMD A10 processor.

 
Adam, If you are looking at building a gaming pc www.aria.co.uk the forum on this computer component site is very good for advice on building your own system.

power and cooling are upmost, followed by a quality mother board,processor, graphic's,memory, storage(ata is old hat, SATA or solid state is the way to go)no less than a terabite.

You will also need a gaming case not an old office one or as it was said before"you had better live in the noth pole" it won't keep cool and cause many problems.
