Hi guys can I have some advice as I havn't built a pc for a few years so not sure whats good etc.

Want to build pc that is soley for Grand Theft Auto on pc and FLight sim.
Need to know cpu ram graphics MB psu hoping to go sli if I can / or need it,etc not bothered about dvd burner as have another slower pc with dvd.

OLd pc had 750 mb Nividia 8600 and was to slow with 2.8 duel core and 2Gig ram, so not much good

Hoping to keep to budget of £650 max but already have 19" lcd and not bothered about sound as long as basic sound comes through my monitor.

also cheap OP system.

Many thanks in advance.

Hope u guys can help / advice me here

The 3 items you listed.. yes do upg those; and that would mean upg your motherboard as well. (And PSU), so thats 5 things.

I dont know to much about prices in england, but go AMD, and keep the price of the CPU, and Mobo around the same.
If your PSU is over 800watts, no need to change that.
Aim for a better graphics card, unless you know some-one with the exact same card you have, and see if you can buy it cheap off them (To SLI); otherwise, change that.

DVD player, yes, just put that into your new PC.

AMD Phenom II X6 Six Core 1090T 3.20GHz 9MB Cache (OC 3.86); Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD7; CORSAIR DDR3 8GB PC3-16000 (2x4gig); EVGA NVIDIA GTX470 SuperClocked (X3)
