Hey there people, I am extremely new to the world of pc gaming and building but I have always played games. What I want in my build is its abillity to max any game currently and in the future for atleast a few years here is what I am thinking of getting so far but I would also like your opinions and advice on certain things like what to get.

If you are wondering I have already built atleast 3 computers on my work experience a few weeks ago so I am fairly experienced on the whole building scale of it.

What I am thinking of getting so far:

Monitor: Dell Ultrasharp 27 or 30" (Deppending how much money I have)
Cpu: one of the I7's
GPU: either a 590 or dual 580's
Ram: 8-12gb of Ram at 1600
Power: atleast 1200 wattage?
Case: anything that looks cool and has good airflow
Opt' Drive: Preferibly Blueray
HDD: Probally two 1tb drives as SSD are to expensive right now

and that is all I have looked into right now, my budget will be probally about £1500 for just the tower but this could probally stretch.

Thank you in advance

Wow, thanks for the Quick replies guys! So you're saying I do not need an i7? Cos I will be using it for photoshop and the rest of the adobe set as I am currently doing a Course in graphic design aswell at college. and with the the gpu's you have reccomended will that play say battlefield 3 on max with a high frame rate?

Thanks again, you guys are already turning to be amazing!

The i5 is very good, the i7 may be better for photoshop and things, but as you are gaming too it's probably better to spend the money on a better GPU. The 7970 is currently the best single card available, and should handle BF3 ;)

Sounds good but I read somewhere that 580's in SLI is the best for your buck proformance wise?
 
Yeah It probally wouldn't be till late spring or summer as I currently do not have the money so i'll seriously look into the 7970's in dual or not deppends how much money I have. Thank you again!
