Hi everyone, I'm going to be in the market for a new PC soon and I would appreciate some advice. I have a budget of £1400 but bear in mind that this will have to include monitor, KB+mouse, Windows and a headset.

This will be used for some intense gaming and some basic stuff.
I realise the ATi 6xxx series will be out soon so really I just need an idea of what I should be looking at with my budget.

Thanks for taking the time read:)

Cool - maybe go for an antec TP 750W new modular on offer - that'll reign it in a little.

Maybe 2x 460 to allow a better SSD?

2x 460 is still crazy gaming performance (better than 1x480) and saves enough to trade that kingston for a C300 SSD. The 460s could even be the 2GB version!
