Hi

Thinking about getting a new pc, first one since my ye olde PIII 2.5 geforce ti4200 80gig hard drive days (guessing things have come on a bit).

Would be used for gaming mainly, so I can push the budget a bit to accommodate a 970 but not much more, would also prefer intel over amd.

Would also need a new keyboard but no monitor as I have a Dell 23"

Thanks
