Gaming PC £800 ?

[Pogue]

Been out of the loop for a while now and have decided to build a gaming rig.

Needs to run the latest games at 1080p preferably 60fps+.

Already have kb, mouse, OS

Needs to be reasonably quiet as it will be in my front room connected to TV.

Budget around £800.

Any help gratefully received.

Looks good, not sure about the case, need something a bit plainer but that's a minor thing.

How good are todays sealed water cooling units, would it be worth stretching a bit more for one?

Not too sure, never used water.

That bundle comes with a nice little board which I have done a simple 4.6GHz oc guide for here - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18690667

That Alpenfohn cooler should cope just fine with it.

Done, ordered, paid for etc etc

Actually went for the Green Phanteks case in the end because it looks soooo good

Will read the OC guide tonight as I paid for Sat delivery so should be here for tomorrow, interesting weekend coming up
