£700~

Budget is £700
don't need peripherals.
do need base unit + OS.

Intended use is gaming.
Games like Planetside 2, Total war Shogun 2 and Civ 5 will be the most intensive games to be played.

I'm assuming something along the lines of 7850 + 3570k ?
HALP! :confused:

should i just get this with a 60gb ssd and drop a gfx card in when funds allow ?
but it's not a problem building it myself if it turns out cheaper.
