Well, i have a list of parts that i was thinking of... but i just wanted to know if there is anything better for around the same price, thinking around £600. It has to be around £600 with all the other bits.
Is going to be used for some gaming sessions (new-ish games).
Also for sound manipulation.
Burning CD's.
General office work.
Watching DVD's
I DONT need a monitor as i already have a good tft that i like.
I DONT need a copy of Windows as I have my copy that I brought for this (before you say it isnt an OEM version
)
May do some light overclocking, depending on the ease of it.
