Multi purpose spec required

[Vidar]

Hi Guys,

I should have a budget of between £1,500 and £2,000 for a new computer system hopefully by the end of the month. It is required for some gaming, first person shooters mainly, web design, image editing and college/university work.

I require all components and peripherals including operating system and would prefer a larger monitor such as one of the Dell ultrasharps...

What would you all recomend?

Thank you this gives me a fair place to start from... how would that compare to my old system which I sold last year?

Specs of that where...

• Intel Core i7 920 D0
  
• XFX Radeon HD 4870 xXx 1024MB
  
• Foxconn Renaissance
  
• Antec 900-2
  
• Coolermaster Real Power 620w Modular
  
• OCZ Gold 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 Tri Channel
  
• Western Digital Caviar Black 640GB
  
• Noctua NH-U12P
  
• LG GH22NS40 22x DVD±RW

Very nice, if I did choose to jump to an I7 which model would you recommend while keeping in line with my uppermost budget?
