Desperate upgrade

sonyaddict · 26 Dec 2014 at 20:42

I badly need to upgrade my PC, now my teenage boys elbows are getting more pointy
and his hunger for a better gaming experience is being felt, I have £700 to upgrade ...
My case is Lianli PC8 and my PSU is 2 years old so not sure if it needs replacing? And I don't need an OS or any drives.

Our main games are BF4 , skyrim, COD no and recently bought Far cry 4

Your choices would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
