Hi there, I'm looking to finally replace my heap of junk and have 1k to spend (maximum), and was hoping someone could let me know the quality of the spec i am thinking of. The PC will be used for MMO gaming such as SWTOR plus GW2 and also some TF2 and Minecraft. Hoping it'll last me 2-3 years of high-ish quality gaming. Any and all advice is most welcome. Cheers.

Well if you don't need it then why bother, it would be pointless, could put the 30quid towards something else like a new game or something :)

Yep - by the time it would be useful everything else the computer would be far outdated.
