650-750£ PC

Gweeps · 13 Jan 2015 at 20:25

My friend is looking to replace her current toaster of a PC with something around the 650-750£ budget. While she mainly plays World of Warcraft and indie games it will also be used for some Tripple A games such as Battlefield 3/4. It would be preferable if the build includes an SSD. Her current monitor is 1080p 60Hz. Need suggestions for a build

. No preference for appearance/colour of the build, OS not needed.

The GFX card comes with free games.

I went for a 256GB SSD as games are getting bigger and bigger, GTA V for example says it needs 65Gb so a 128Gb SSD will soon fill up.

Maybe she wants a specific case? ask her.

The blue build looks really nice, but would you be able to make a black red one?
