Cheers for the quick reply. Yeah will mainly be for gaming, but my laptop is on its last legs so I hope it will get through 3/4 years of uni with no problems!

I am completely new to custom building, but I have enough friends who have done it themselves as to avoid catastrophic problems! I hope to play games such as skyrim, battlefield 3, knights of the of the old republic, starcraft 2 on high/ultra settings, does that sound fair?

And yeah my budget is around 600, can go a bit higher if needs be.
 
Righto, really appreciate all this, but confusing as hell to me tbh, but you all seem to be know what your on about as compared to me haha. What do you mean by the LP ones, and you think its worth getting extra cooling, just in case? Set on the original case, just need a kinda revised build after all the feedback, and will it all be cool to run games on high etc, and will it all be compatible? excuse my amateurness, cheers!
 
you can get the same case with red fans ;) Yeah go for it, cheers man, the case is just about the only component I can understand....
 
Would rather pay a bit more but not have to do much upgrading etc in the future, seems good to me, you're the expert! Would ideally like to get it down 50 quid, but if thats going to dramtically affect performance i will leave it as it is!
 
ahhhh my bad, think it ends up cheaper from overclockers anyways. Yeah the new build is

Gigabyte GA-Z68AP-D3 Z68 Socket 1155 8 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard (85)

Corsair 8GB (2X4GB) DDR3 1600Mhz Red Vengeance Memory Kit CL9 (9-9-9-24) 1.5V (37)

Asus GTX 560Ti DirectCU II 1GB GDDR5 Dual DVI Mini HDMI PCI-E Graphics Card (172)

Casecom 6788 All Black Case (30)

Antec TruePower New 650W Modular PSU (70)

Seagate 500GB 3.5" SATA-III 6Gb/s Barracuda Hard Drive 7200RPM 16MB Cache (64)

Samsung SH-222AB 22x DVD±RW DL & RAM SATA Optical Drive - OEM Black (12)

Intel Core i5 2500K 3.3GHz Socket 1155 6MB Cache Retail Boxed Processor (172)

And I guess I should invest in 4/5 more fans.

Also is it worth forking out extra for i7?

thanks for you patience haha
