Gaming setup for £600

[lukethegreek]

Hi Overclockers community.

I'm new here and am asking for some expert advice.

Looking for:
A machine that eats up typical games (League of legends / strategy games / MMOrpgs etc) & also would fare ok with graphically intensive 'next gen' games.

- Including a decent monitor & keyboard (already have a razor mouse)
- Optional - green lighting on the keyboard & long ethernet cable (1 mtr?).

The tower will be hidden so nothing fancy needed case wise - also not fussed about an optical drive.

Currently running on BT wifi (bt hub - 40mb) - but will have this tower plugged in with ethernet . Should i invest in a new router??

Definitely consider flexing to £700 if recommended.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Luke.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I will mull over these two builds - could stretch to an R9 280 I think.
