this is a full build, but with no GPU. you got SSD for your OS too. it leaves you 250eu for gpu. you can get 6950 for that or you can wait for march 19th for release of 7850/7870. if i am not mistaken 7870 will be in your budget. that card is faster then gtx570.

He can only pay with CC, so no HWVS.

Watch out for this PSU; it doesn't include all the modular cables. Good for someone who's upgrading but not good when needing a new PSU.

Also you may run into trouble with that heatsink too as it doesn't list compatibility with 1156/1155?

Its got enough cables for a single 560 Ti though, with a molex -> PCI-E adapter.

Good catch. I'd swap it for this:
