If your looking at a 680, I think the minimum requirement for it is at least a 550w PSU

If you want to be playing BF4 on a pc You kinda need to be looking at over £200 for a graphics card, with a pc wrapped around it that will cost circa £800-900.

Just looked at my PSU and its a 800w that may account for the house lights dimming when i start it up :blink:;)

SATA II or SATA III?

Harddrives are like a few quid difference but sata III is a lot faster. Also you only need 60-120GB for an OS drive.

 

Yeah BF3/4 you're looking at over £200 for a GPU, otherwise you're just better off with a console.

But why. Just had a look and SATA III is the same price, if not cheaper. You can get a 1TB for £40...

Also you can pick up 760 starting at £180 on Scan.co.uk

Amazon is not the place to buy PC components, try ebuyer, aria, scan or novatech.
