Hi I'm lost on the internet with flashy websites and deals everywhere, I dont really know what's a good deal anymore! So I thought I'd ask you guys what sort of computer you'd buy with £600-700 (maybe a but more if it's really worth it). I use it for games like wow and battlefield and also university work and statistical programmes. Thanks for the advice!!

Pretty similar to RJC's ^ albeit larger SSD and worse cooler :)
 
This is nice, just a few questions. Is the GPU on this the equivalent to the nvidia 760? And also is this hard to build since I'm a novice in computing.
If I was to buy this or a similar one remade what would be the price?

I believe this is faster than the 760, and has more VRAM - http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1038?vs=1332

Not hard at all to build, just like lego though a bit more difficult :D If you post one of our baskets in the customer services forum, they should be able to quote you how much it would cost to build. I can't imagine it would be more than £80? Not too sure though, ask there
 
Cool, could you give me a list of items for around 700-800, I have a 650w corsair PSU Spare and 8gb ram but you know, if it's more than that I'd go for it haha! Thanks for your time mate! I'm going out now though so might not reply till tomorrow or later tonight haha
 
Sure RJC can give some input for this also, he might be able to make something better than this :)

Could drop the cooler to save a bit of cash, this isn't 100% necessary but it looks cool :)
 
 
 
I am going to close this as it seems you want separate components and that will be best discussed in your thread in GH, also Tammyz has done a nice little spec in there that all fits together.
