Hey guys, I'm thinking of building a new gaming computer. I am willing to spend 500-600 pounds and want to be able to run games like skyrim, battlefield on pretty high settings. I need a monitor and operating system included in this build as well, I'm fine for mouse and keyboard.
Thanks

How well do you think this build would run games like skyrim?

The H61 mobo might need an update to take the Ivybridge CPU though. In all honesty Skyrim as a DX9 title isn't very demanding. BF3 would be more demanding. If you download the Enterprise (evaluation) edition of windows 8 you can use that for free for 3 months and then choose what OS to buy much later having made an informed decision.

You need to ask OCUK to update the bios on the Foxconn mobo, other wise the Cpu wont work. Have not included an OS as you can download and install Windows 8 Evaluation. This is valid for 90daya and should give you time to save for an OS.
