hey all! After getting pink screens/hard crashes in games and finally blue screens i've got enough money for a new computer \o/

I mainly play world of warcraft/fps/strategy games.

Could someone pick me a computer, already built or from the system configurator. I really dont have the time or knowledge to buy the parts seperate and build it myself.

I have a budget of £1300. I could probably add another £200 if needed. I dont need a monitor/mouse/keyboard but i do need speakers. IF you could add a monitor that would be fine but i'd rather just have the tower with "kickass" parts and i could buy a monitor at a later date. Im not really into SLI anymore, this system i have now is SLI and it caused more problems than good. but an option to go SLI in the future would be nice to have.

thanks in advance!
 
thanks stulid!

Idleman, I do have stuff i could resue but i'd rather get brand new gear. ssd would be great and i really like the haf-x case. I think i'll go with what stulid said unless you have any other suggestions. This pc will probably be my last one for 5years or so(growing up sucks!!)

When it arrives is there anything i need to do other than connect and switch on? Never used overclockers before
 
I've love to build my own. When i get the new pc i will pull my old one apart and play around with it! but at the mo, even installing a new gfx worries me :>
 
Too late, i just bought this pc :>

I've just been told by a friend that i would need to apply new thermal paste to the cpu every 6-12months or it would fry at that speed, is this true? Do i even need 4.5? I'd much rather have the standard 3.4ghz and it be safe for a long time.
 
Hey again. Was expecting PC to arrive sometime today but was told it failed testing and will not be ready for shipping till monday-ish. As this is the first time i've bought a whole system from here i'm now a tad nervous. Im sure they would have just replaced the part that failed and not tweaked it or something.

Any reassuring words? :o
