Hi guys,

I'm looking for a system in the £500-£650 range, possibly ranging to £700 for a system & OS - I have no spares I can use & mouse, keyboard, monitor, I have. Although I'll be using my TV as a monitor which I imagine will have pretty awful res.

Now, I know you'll all be wondering what is this guy talking about, gaming for such a small amount. Well - let me explain.. I am going back into WoW.. Again I know.. My life....:eek::confused: Lol.

Anyway, I'd prefer to have a prebuild, just very unsure with what components to include - but I'm not afraid to build my own, I have in the past. Just been a while. Also I'm far from mediocre when it comes to cable management and all the tidiness.

If you could help, I would really appreciate it!

EDIT: I have read a couple more posts and realised I should be a little more specific to try and help.

I am thinking more cores for the cpu hungry game that WoW is right? mid, mid-high gpu as I want to play it on high, or even ultra as I like it to look pretty. But I don't want to end up with any screen tears or lagging, especially during any raid content.

I'm thinking SSD for operating & HDD for everything else? There will literally be this & then a few other steam games, no bigger than 10gb a pop I'd say - so 500gb will probably be fine but to be honest, budget permitting - you guys advise!

Thanks!

I'm not big on overclocking- never done it & unsure whether I'd really need it, would I? I wouldn't say no to further performance though?
 
Ok looks good. Any of the base builds that OCUK supply would fit this build nicely? As I'd prefer to get it done and ready so I can plug&play effectively. As I say, I'm interested in gaming & building but I'm certainly not looking to make my dream machine nor mess around building one if you catch my drift. Bravo to anyone that consistently wants to build their own though :)
 
These builds look great to be honest! Forgot to mention I'd probably prefer Win 7 - although I haven't actually used Win 8 all that much I just prefer the lay out of the typical Windows. How about you???
