Hi,

I have a fairly old PC now, not sure how recoverable the parts are, it's a 2007 ish Packard Bell iMedia PC, also has 4GB DDR and 8600GT added into it. Used it mainly as a surfing/video machine and played some less intensive games.

So now I'm looking for a replacement that can give me a bit more bang in gaming, play the latest titles and be semi decent in a couple of years. Budget is £400-£500 and I have OS/monitor (1680x1050 vga)/peripherals, not looking to overclock at this point just get some parts that will last (thinking case/power supply), I also never really intend to go twin graphics if that helps.

Cheers,
Aro
 
Hi :)

Thanks for all the info, this would suit you well:


YOUR BASKET
1 x OcUK HD 6850 OC 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £99.95
1 x Intel Core i3-2120 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - Retail £99.95
1 x Gigabyte Z77-D3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard £84.98
1 x Cooler Master Silent Pro Modular 600W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply £62.99
1 x Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB SATA 6Gb/s 16MB Cache - OEM (WD5000AAKX) £58.99
1 x Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (CML8GX3M2A1600C9) £39.95
1 x Xigmatek Asgard Pro Gaming Case - Black £34.99
1 x LG GH22NS70 24x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM £18.98
Total : £515.78 (includes shipping : £12.50).



I've included a more expensive PSU than you need, as it has plenty of headroom and is modular.
Case is a personal choice - a few to choose from in a similar price range such as the BitFenix Merc, or Outlaw, or the Coolermaster Elite 430

If you'd prefer a cheaper PSU, this OCZ 550W is up to the job :)
