Looks fine but honestly don't get the amd bulldozer, get i5 2500k or i5 3570k, with a intel compatible board.

It's not bad. GPU could be better - Radeon 7770 is only $10-30 more then the 6850 and it's better.

It isn't actually.

Yeah I had a good look through what the best GPU's were, and settled for a 6850. I will have alook at other CPU's though, thanks

If you're not buying a premade computer, make these changes:

Processor - i5-3570k ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819116504 )
Ram - Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 8GB @ 1600MHz ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820233186 )
Motherboard - Any of these three with your brand of preference: Asus, ASRock, Gigabyte.

what is your budget and what games do you play , people on mmochamp will suggest you a MUCH Better set up than this one for a similar price and it be optimized for the games that you play.

Probs around £800-£900. Bit of WoW, Bit of D3. Looking to have a system that can run BF3, Arma 2, Skyrim etc pretty nicely.

Bulldozer chips are very, very poor performers. Go for an equivalent Intel selection.

What are these like for changes?

Intel® Core™i5 Quad Core Processor i5-3470 (3.2GHz) 6MB Cache
ASUS® P8H61-M LE/USB3 (NEW REV 3.0): M-ATX, USB 3.0, SATA 3.0Gb/s

The H61 chipset motherboards are last-generation boards. While it will work with your system, you're better off getting something from the 70-series of chipsets.

Also,it's worth noting that you don't need to go for a full 6-core Intel chip to compete with a 6-core Bulldozer. A 4-core will do just fine.
