Hi all
Going to invest in a new pc.£650 budget.No need for monitor etc just the rig itself.Will use win7 for now.
What would you recomend?
Would be for gaming mainly and general use.No FPS just RTS etc.Rather be as futurproof as possible(i know it will never happen.Need to get 2-3 years out of it.Can upgrade it as needed)
Thinking AMD route but any suggestions would be appreciated.

Don't waste your cash if you don't have to, save it, put it in a bank and when you need more power, get urself new gpu or another one for CF for almost no cash and a quad for silly price ( AM3 socket will support all the newest AMD cpu's for quite a bit of time yet, probably even the 6 and 8 core ones ).

EDIT:
Just read the comment about monitor:
If you could stretch out the budget by small bit and get

on top of that : ).
Or ring up OCuk and ask when they

And you can get away without the soundcard if you don't care much about the sound quality or just don't have any half decent speakers and onboard is enough for you.
