a little help?

[JakeyW]

I've started getting into gaming, been using a friends old gaming rig, but I think its time for me to get my own, I've got a budget of £650, not including monitor, mouse etc. Any help?

Do you need an operating system, windows ?

Welcome.

What games do you play? Need an OS? You want to over clock atall?

I play a variety of games, from games like assassins creed to games like half life, if I see a game that appeals I would get it, I would like windows 7:')

The stock cooler is fine with this CPU unless you plan on doing some overclicking, then you would need a better one, but it is fine otherwise very quiet and efficient.

Ahh okay, well, over time I will most likely upgrade, but these prices seem reasonable!
