Hello

[gerb]

Hello everyone I'm looking to purchase a new pc but I'm not really good with all the tech stuff, it's been nice to have a look and see what I can get with my money but would appreciate some help with a set up.

About me:

I play games like SC2 (really badly), Black ops (badly) and some other random stuff that my current machine handles fine. I'm a pretty bad gamer if truth be told but I enjoy it. I also watch movies and things like i player etc..

I don't have any music on my computer or pictures, just games really.

What I would like:

Simply a set up that can handle playing these games on max settings (if possible) with a budget of around £1200.

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions that people give me as I really appreciate the time they would of taken to help me with this.

Gerb.

For your budget you can get this beast of a system below, also if you wanted to you can make it cheaper by dropping the i7 2600 CPU to the i5 2500 as the only real benefit for the i7 would be maybe some editing or FSX if you play that and i don't know if you are planning to watch Blurays or not so there is a Bluray player in the build but you can drop this if you do not need it.

Configure it here

This should handle games on max or just about touching max as it sports a beefy GTX580 graphics card A very balanced spec to consider going for.

Edit: Or, you can look at Fear's spec too
