Need recommendations for a work/gaming build

[Narcor]

I'm a bit rusty with this as I haven't done a build for several years and I've kinda lost track of whats good and whats not.

I need recommendations for a build as, due to a change of circumstances, I'm about to start contracting.

I'm an avid WoW fan but I'll need this PC to run my development software as well. I'm a Controls Engineer so the software I use is a combination of PLC coding software (Siemens PCS7 if anyone knows this kind of software) and SCADA software (Graphical HMI software). I'll also need the system to be able to cope with large Virtual Machines (preferably running 2 at a time). Oh and just out of preference I'd like it to have a 9 pin serial port as I may occasionally have to program the PLCs from this machine.

Ideally I don't want to spend much more that £400 but I don't need an OS or case so it's really just the internals I'm after.

In the past I've always been an AMD fan (my first build was a K5). But I'm open to what ever is the best and I'm not afraid to clock

The other thing is hard drives... Again I've always been a WD fan but again I'm open to suggestions.

So please guys... Work your magic and suggest an amazing WoW/VM running PC.

Thanks

This is what you're looking for.It will be able to play any game including WoW and it will also be good for the other stuff you wanna do.

Thanks for the recommendation! I've actually gone for the AMD Quad Core Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz processor and a WD 1TB Caviar Black as I got a bit of cash for Xmas.

Should be setting it up tomorrow!

Thanks again.
