Hello all,
I am beginning a new build soon, which will be replacing an ageing laptop due to the plethora of quality games coming out soon (BF3, Skyrim, Arkham City etc). This will be mostly used for gaming, but all the other stuff too like music listening, web browsing... budget is £1400 & I hope this will last at least a few years with minimal upgrades.
Your much appreciated opinions please!
