thankyou very much for the reply, can you tell me if this will last me a good few years? or should i save up more money and spend a little extra.

You could increase the price a little, go for a GTX 670, faster RAM and get a SSD as your boot drive and the HDD as storage. Up to you if you want to wait to save up, but that is a good build.

The build I posted allows for upgrades in future such as adding another 660Ti in SLI or upgrading the graphics card,but if you can push it another £70 or so and select the GTX 670,and upgrade the PSU to 750W,it would increase performance and still allow to add a second graphics card in SLI in future,or upgrade to a single graphics card.
