Gaming Desktop

[harvey107]

Hi, I would like a desktop to play games such as Shogun 2: Total war coming out soon and Civ 5. I don't need it to be ultra settings just so it runs well. I've got a nice monitor so don't need a new one but have a budget of £900-£1000 and would like to keep to AMD. Any help would be most appreciated! Thanks.

That looks good for the price, I always missed having two DVD drives just for ease of not having to swop disc but I could do without it. thanks for the reply!
