Looking for advice on new computer set-up

[Kcin]

Hello,

I am looking to completely replace my old PC with a new system.

I will be using the system for gaming only and I am looking to be able to play current games and games in the near future at max settings with high FPS.

My budget is around £600 - £1200 and I am not overly keen on building myself since I have poor technical knowledge and an uncanny ability to ruin delicate parts

I have looked at length myself and have a rough idea of what I would like but I am unsure of a couple of things.

1. Although I want a great machine I do not want to get something I don't actually require for my needs.
2. Do I need an extra SSD and graphics card for my requirements?
3. I have a used GeForce GTX 550 TI lying around - worth salvaging or better to move on?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I will need an OS but I won't need a keyboard, monitor or mouse.

In regards to having a wide budget I would be happy to keep the cost down but having said that I am willing to put the money in for something that will last me. Could probably revise it to £700-£1000 if that helps.

I knew you people would try to persuade me to build one! I will have to have a read and a think about it.

To answer an earlier question I currently have a traditional old HDD: a 320GB Samsung SATA-16MB HD320KJ.

I had a rethink and am prepared to put it together however I am not so keen on attempting an overclock. I also decided that I would need a new monitor.
