£500 - 650 pc spec please (details in post)

[Gavrok]

Hi all, First I'm really sorry for making a typical pc spec post, but I'm really looking for what people have to say etc and I trust peoples opinions from here. I have basic knowledge of *** inside of my comp, I wont eb looking to overclock at all!

Anyway, I'm looking for a solid gaming machine but also will be using the machine for photoshop/3d/web design as well. I really want a machine thats going to be able to play the latest games at a high level and last me a coupel of years. I have a budget of around £500 - £650 so any help would be great thanks.

So just to list tit

Solid gaming machine
Run latest games at a high level
web design work

budget of £500 - £650

Thanks in advance for any help.

P.S a nice tower would be sweet too!

Do you need everything? (case,psu,ctr/tft,keybord,mouse,mobo,ect.)
Gaming machine for £650 prob wont runn games on max settings! I would say maybe £800 for a mid range system.

Welcome to the forums. I don't know if this counts as a decent case to you but it is quite a good solid case and PSU. There is still some space in the budget to upgrade the size of the hard disk if you will need more space. You could go for the Powercolor X800 GTO16 and save around £30 over the X850XT because it is basically the same card but slightly underclocked.
