Hello soon I will be buying pc components to make my first gaming pc as consoles are now dead. My budget is £820 and my pc will be used for gaming, recording and rendering. I am planning on upgrading in the future as the next genaration graphics will come out but I would like to see what you guys can suggest for a gaming build.

The GPU is a bit low ended and since you are going to be using it for rendering you may want to lokk into getting a Nvidia. But since you are upgrading soon I guess it will work for now.
Another thing is you HDD, you could get a seagate and save 15 quid.
Thanks for the reply, yes the gpu is low end but as the next genaration graphics cards will soon come out I figured I would like to save up and get a high end card later on in the year, but I will deifnatly consider the seagate drives as I have heard some good things about them but then there are so many fan boys who love western digital and seagate who can make deciding much harder than it is.
IMHO the 7770 is a bad move!
When the next gen cards are out it's going to have a very low resale price.
Go for the 7850 and you will have a better game experiance from now till you upgrade, and when the next gen cards come out you will get a much better price for the second hand 7850 as there will be more people looking for a second 7850 to crossfire then 7770's!
I will have a look at the HD7850's as I was considering them before and I have found some for a good price, but I put together another build, I changed the case, ram, hdd, psu, and graphics card. When I was changing the build the prices only dropped slightly but where I managed to make the most space is by choosing the bitfenix shinobi instead of the tempest 410 elite.
Oh yeah, heres the list
