Can someone please build me a £620 gaming PC (please include Windows 7 and the Monitor in the price). I am mainly planning on playing League of Legends, DotA2, Star Wars the Old Republic and Guild Wars 2.

Thank you in advance :)

For £600 i would go for something like this... not to sure about hdd/windows 7 but looks like a good deal!
 
For £600 I would not get a AMD system, Intels new i3 sandybridge is faster:)

So I would seriously consider something like this,

If you wanted to spend all £620, then this spec has the same case but includes a better PSU.

Thank you, again :D

Oh and one more question. I have never assembled a PC, so how difficult is it? Can you give me any tips/a guide?

Don't forget to buy thermal grease, I know it is a bit obvious but you'd be surprised how many people start their first build just to realise they need to nip to their local shop to buy some :)
 
I dont know either? the CPU comes with a stock heatsink with thermal paste pre-applied.

my 2500k didn't come with any pre applied thermal paste only heatsink, and that was retail. Just sayin better to get it than find out that you need some, it's not like it costs a fortune
