I want to build my own PC, But I am finding all the different choices a bit too overwhelming, I'm not that into overclocking or anything as I basically just want to know what sort of set up I will need for backing up my Blu Rays, Playing Football Manager and C&C, 1404 type games and the usual rubbish, I do not mind spending a fair amount if it will be worth it.

I don't need a monitor, mouse or keyboard, I will be hooking it up to my Samsung TV through either HD or SVGA.


Also if anyone knows anything about networking, How can I go about host a Football Manager game with more than the 16 Hamachi free allows (if I buy it apparently 256 people) is it an internet issue or a server issue?

Thanks in advance.

I have the case and software sorted, I forgot about the RAM completely and the PSU I am some what undecided over.

Thanks for your help so far guys
 
THANKS

Thanks for all the help and advice guys, in the end I went with Titan Theo and upgraded the RAM, Harddrive and graphics card, I wanted to do it all myself but this was too cheap and too easy not to take advantage of.

Thanks again
Greg
