[QUOTE="ILuvGames, post: 4727918, member: 288089"] If you are not building it yourself try going to a site where you can spec a PC yourself and have them build it for you. The PC market in the UK is very competitive price-wise ATM and you wouldn't save much at the price you are looking at as a self-build. As I live in the UK as well, Computerplanet have a good name for themselves and if you follow the link they have a wide variety of component options available in their configurator below. At least it will give you an idea of roughly what to expect from the price you are prepared to pay if nothing else. [url]http://www.computerplanet.co.uk/custom/index.html[/url] If you are going to be using it mainly for gaming, consider the GPU and a reliable and powerful enough PSU your main priority. Also not forgetting to factor in the price a of a monitor and OS. I would (with your budget) go for something like this :- Cooler Master Elite 430 Case (good value, fairly well built and looks like a proper gaming case) AMD A8 5600K Black Edition X4 (4 x 3.6 GHz) (fast and cheap) AMD Heatsink & Fan (works well enough (like Intel stock coolers) if you don't overclock and keep the case fans and vents clean) Corsair 4GB XMS3 PC3-12800 1600MHz Ram NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti - 1 GB (enough for about 80 fps in Modern Warfare 3 @ 1080p 4XAA all settings maxed out) Gigabyte F2A75M-HD2 (AMD A55) Motherboard Corsair 650W PSU (in case you want a more powerful GPU later) 320 GB SATA-II HDD 7200 RPM 24x DVD/CD Re-Writer/Reader (SATA) Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64 BIT 1080p 21.5" widescreen monitor 5ms About £625 to £635 built and delivered for a complete system. Rydian or Originality could help you a lot more than me, though. [/QUOTE]
