Build for gaming.

Hello,

I am looking to having a new build for gaming. Budget could be stretched to £800, however I would ideally like to keep it around £700 unless the performance gain is significant enough to add the extra cost. I do not require a monitor, case, peripherals or psu.

My current build is rather old now, is it worth keeping these current components to use?
CPU Intel Core i5 760 @ 2.80GHz
Lynnfield 45nm Technology

Motherboard ASUSTeK Computer INC. P7P55D LE (LGA1156)

Thanks for the time and help.

Hello again,

Thanks for the replies. Apologies I should have mentioned about the monitor, a relative is going to give me his BenQ RL2455HM.

If I were to get a new case to fit the infin8 is there a particular one you would recommend? Or is there not a big difference with the zotac to be worth buying a new case.

That case is ideal thanks. Personally prefer it without windows so no LED or lights inside to be seen.

Thanks a lot for all the help.
