i'm an IT engineer and have built all my machines thus far so I should be able to do it myself, however..
I'd rather pay someone to do it so I avoid jamming a screwdriver through the motherboard or something daft.
Seems crazy I know, but its a lot of money to **** up the wall if you do screw up.
They sell pre built bundles on the site, just takes a few emails to sales to arrange that for a fee.

i'm thinking 2070 over the 9700 price per performance gain.. unless im wrong with this
Both about £150 more than their lesser model, but the performance gain is more in the GFX card.

PSU - I was mistaken its an Akasa 750w Venom, end of life many years back - actually probably trash!
I...
AMD is not an option, ever since buying the Athlon K7 which were an absolute travesty, i vowed never to touch them again.
They could be the best CPU/GFX available but i'm sold on Intel/nVidia.
+ i don't really want to wait, there's new games to play!
Currently running:
i5-3570k @ 4.8ghz (no idea whats cooling it, but its crap.. 65deg idle)
16GB DDR3 RAM
Asus GTX 780
Z77-D3H Mobo
So I think its time to upgrade..
On a budget :(
