Computer building NOOB needs help

Hey guys I'm building a computer ( my first time) and I would like to build it for atleast 400 I need some parts suggestion also I would like to be able to play games at medium setting. Thanks

Well the list I've put together for myself so far is:-

(Motherboard) ASUS 1155 P8Z68-V PRO

(CPU) Intel Sandybridge i5-2500K Unlocked Core i5 Quad-Core Processor (3.30GHz, 6MB Cache, Socket 1155)

(RAM) Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 8GB 1600MHz CL9 DDR3 Vengeance Memory Two Module Kit

(GPU) AMD 6870 (buying a second one later)

Though I am still new to this PC building thing and dunno how well that is going to work. :P

That's going to cost me around £400 depending on the deals I can find around the internet, and I already have a tower so I'm saving money there. Dunno if that helps at all.

Not forgetting the O/S.

Looks like I forgot about a lot of the basic stuff (did say I was new to this). :(

If you're after playing recently released and upcoming releases at medium it looks like it's going to cost a considerable bit more than £400, though to be honest you never specified what currency that 400 was.

If you go with the 6870 keep in mind it can runbasically everything on high, depends on resolution, if you lower it, it will max all games easily.The only game it won't max in 1080p isMetro 2033 but without AA it will max it with no problem.

And if you crossfire it, you got a system that will last for quite a while.

If you need windows too you'll want to spend more than $400

Do you have keyboard/mouse/psu/case/monitor? If you don't have all of these things I don't think it will be worth attempting to build a $400 PC.
