Long story short, I'm on a medical retirement pension, giving me current system (a top of the range one from here but 3 years old) to my brother, and would like a new system that can defeat WARIO himself!!!!

Don't really care about the cost. But, I'd like the OS to be on a SSD with enough space for a few games, and the rest to run off of probably a 1TB+ Hard drive. I want it to be as fast, and quiet as possible, and I is willing to pay out of my bum for it!!!!

Also, I'm not in the physical condition to assemble PCs anymore, so I would need OCUK to prebuild it for me if that is possible.

Thank you please :)

Err and if it matters, I've got about 1TB of music and stuff ill be transferring over to this machine, so Im prob looking at having at least a 2TB regular hard drive if possible.

I'll take a new KB, and Mouse, but I don't need a new monitor immediately. Currently have a 32" LCD, only 720p though I intend on getting a 40-42 inch LED reasonably soon after if not at the same time as the PC.

I wish I was rich :(

P.S. SLI 580's and watercool them. Overclock a 2600K to 4.8Ghz on water. 8GB RAM, Z68 board with all the features... a topper of a case, 800D would by my choice for water cooling.

There you have a minted WC system that will last 5 years+ and doesn't cost the Earth.

Can I get that prebuilt by OC though??? I'm out of breath these days when I walk 10 paces. No more buildings of Jesus rigs for me.
