Hi I have decided I want to build a gaming pc as my current pc ( which I bought from a shop about 6 years ago ) is crap and looks like its on its last legs. The max I have to spend is £1000. I want to be able to game on it with as close to max settings as possible. However I don't want to waste money either. So say if there was 2 graphics cards with £100 difference and the more expensive was only marginally better, then I would rather go with the cheaper one. I would like it to be future proof in the sense that I will have the possibility to easily upgrade parts in the future and the parts in the build will last a good while to.
I am also interested in overclocking although I have never done this before. Can I use the cooler/ heat sink or whatever it is that comes with the CPU or will I need an after market one if I want to overclock?
I already have a monitor, mouse and keyboard. I also would probably prefer to go with a top end i5 rather than i7 due to price but if you feel I should opt for the i7 then I will consider it. But as I said I'm not a religious pc gamer so don't want to waste money.
Sorry for the long read lol. Hopefully I have gave you guys enough info. Please help a newb
Thanks

so will probably have to start the build in another month or two. Will these parts still be ok or will there be anything better by then?
