Gaming PC (multiple budgets)

[adibren]

Looking to buy my first PC, mainly going to be using it for gaming, with a bit of sound production and coding on the side, would someone like to spec it for me?

The reason for the multiple budgets is that I already have around £500 set aside for it, but would be willing to put up to £300 extra if needed.

Thanks in advance.

Hi and welcome.

Can you build yourself?

What parts do you need (tower, OS, keyboard etc)

I can build, and i'll need the whole lot apart from a monitor, starting from scratch pretty much here. I'll take win7 over 8 also.

Thanks a lot, could I easily chuck in a SSD drive as well to boot Windows from with either spec?

Yes.

This 250Gb is a good performer and good price - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-055-CR&groupid=701&catid=2104&subcat=2394

Best to go for that sort of size so you can get some games on it to.
