Hi,

Hoping some of you good folks out here will help me spec a replacement system as I am biting the bullet and saying goodbye to my Q6600 and 260gtx

I've pretty much decided to only keep the peripherals and O/S.

So i need a gaming pc and screen (I have a 24" at the moment but older model), looking to play the usual types of FPS CoD and BF4. Also use the pc for watching TV.

I have come up with this but would more then welcome any ideas or suggestions

and i cannot chose a case so need help!

Cheaper RAM as 8Gb is plenty for games - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-061-TG

The Crucial MX100 512Gb SSD is quick and much cheaper than the Sammy.
