Never had a gaming computer before, and I don't really know what I am doing in terms of graphics cards and CPUs so I just wondered what builds people had in the £800-1000 price range?

He would need a cooler now as a OEM CPU doesn't include one.
 
Hi guys, thanks for all the help, just one quick question, is the i7 worth it over the i5, it doesn't seem much faster and they are both quad cores aren't they? S what does an i7 give you over an i5 given the much increased price?
