Hi experts,
I need to replace my 7 year old PC, its had a few upgrades but think its now finally time to bite the bullet again and replace.
New PC will be used 90% for gaming - FPS and RPG games with a focus on potential new titles, nothing specific.
Things that may (or some may not) be of use from the old PC:
6.1 surround speakers
PSU - Tagan 480W
2 x Internal HDD - HDS 250GB SATA-300 / 3.5" / 7200 rpm
1 x External USB 2TB drive
Thermaltake Tsunami dream case
Brand new dvd drive
Windows 8
Standard USB Keyboard and Optical USB Mouse (I would replace if it really justified it never really looked at the nice ones)
My monitor is small compared to whats on the market now so that needs replacing, 24" widescreen would be nice.
Budget I would like to be £800 ish with a motherboard that give me some kind of room to flex components up in 2-3 years time when it starts to struggle again so can get some more life out of it.
It will be a self build, I have never overclocked but sure I can pick up the how to's from these forums if your recommend to do so with the suggested components.
Hope that covers all the bases.
Thanks in advance.
