Hi there, well I'm finally considering building a new PC and since I've been out of the loop for a while I'm not too clued up on any of the newer hardware, so I'd love some suggestions on a build.

I'm planning on overclocking and I'll be mainly using it for games, I don't need any extra things like monitors, keyboards or mice just the system itself.

I'll be reusing my hard drive, DVD drive and I have a spare copy of Windows 7 so they aren't needed either. I've also got a Corsair 620HX, I'm not sure if this would be up for the job of powering a newer computer, if it is then I'd like to try and reuse that too. :p

Oh and my budget is around £900. :)

Why the i7 for gaming?

i5 does the same job, for around £100 saving.

With the spare £100, you could get an even bigger SSD and the big brother of the case
