Hi

Im a newbie at computer building and I need some help choosing the right products.

My budget would be around £800

I will be using the computer for gaming(WOW,FALLOUT,COD,)photoshop and some music production on Propellerhead Reason 4.

Im looking for a build where I can upgrade to much better in the future, when I have the funds...lol:D

Thanks for reading.

Ok im over budget. I can drop the case for something else and upgrade later. I have not custom built a system before so this is my first.

Your basket
Radon Intel Core i5 760 2.80GHz @ 4.00GHz Overclocked Bundle £340.00
Options applied to the above product:
Akasa AK-CCX-4001HP Nero S Direct Contact Heatpipe CPU Cooler (Socket AM2 / AM2+ / AM3 / LGA775 / LGA1156 / LGA1366 ) £32.99


MSI GeForce GTX 460 Cyclone 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card with HAWX2 PC-Game £152.74

Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit - OEM (GLC-00736) £146.86

Coolermaster HAF X Gaming Tower Case - Black (RC-942) £139.99

Corsair HX 650W ATX Modular SLI Compliant Power Supply (CMPSU-650HXUK) £99.99

LG GH22NS50 22x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM £15.99

Sub Total : £790.27
Total : £945.90

Minus the cool masters tower and this instead my total is £873.51
Antec 300 Three Hundred Ultimate Gaming Case - Black £50.98
Akasa AK174CB-4BLB 120mm Blue LED Fan £8.89


Still not too sure what to do, because I havent built a system before I'm not too keen incase something goes wrong. I guess its best to go for it, I will learn something.
What do you think??

One more question can I replace the I5 with the I7 later on?

Thanks

Thanks a lot everyone, very helpful advice but now im in a nerver wrecking position when I decieded to open my computer case remove a few things and clean the dust of them.

I have everything in place but I cant remeber where to route the power supply cables. Graphic card fan spins, power supply and cpu fan spins when I power on everything seems fine but nothing shows up on the tv screen.:confused:

I might have routed a few wires wrong but can anyone help.
Here is a pic.
