Few questions on building a rig.

[Mitchell]

First of all I'd like to say hello, what with this being my first post and all!

I have a budget of around £1700 maybe squeeze to £1800 but nothing more really. I don't need a monitor just the tower. I'm looking for a gaming PC that won't have to be touched for a long time, I've also had a run of bad PCs (pre-built Acer shit) and want it to be reliable.

I'm not too good with the whole technical side of things (hence why this site is so ideal as they put it together for you) but I know of a few things I think I'll need. I want my first hard-drive to be a SSD around 80 to 120GB for my OS and my main applications. A second 1TB drive shall be fine I feel.

That's all I really have in mind :/ and that's my problem. I'm not sure what graphics card to go for or anything? I would love a Blu-Ray drive in there also and inbuilt wireless if at all possible.

That's it though, if anyone could recommend me anything I would be very grateful. Sorry if I came off prissy with the "I wants" but they're just a few things I feel are needed. Thanks in advance

Thank you so much for your response. This has helped me out more than you could imagine lol. And it's a little cheaper than I thought I'd have to go too Rep up (if I can figure it out)
