As per title I need help with a full build for £1000 including windows but not monitor and peripherals. The machine will be used for 1080p gaming and as an occasional workstation (not video rendering). If anyone can be bothered doing a spec I'd be very grateful. Edit: only needs a 240GB ish SSD, not a regular HDD and probably doesn't require an i7, i5 is fine if it means more budget for better graphics card.

Also, how do I post a spec from my basket as I've seen other people do?

Wow, thanks CEUOTC. This is what I came up with (without windows yet as undecided on which). Also thanks for the link Space Monkey.

seems underpowered by comparison to a i7+R290 build!
What would you do for a M-ATX build?
