thinking of getting a complete new system

[ndaar]

I havent upgraded a full system for a few years now as nothing seemed to make a huge difference to what ive got. However ive recently got a bit of money to spend so was considering a new system that would last a few years. I play a lot of games mainly no video encoding or anything liek that. I welcome opinions, my current system would move to be my second pc so will not be using any old components apart from monitors and keyboards & mice.

You will need a decent power supply as well, and i would get the retail 3570k as it has 3 years warranty over the 1 year Oem

Personally, I'd spend a little more and get the HX 750 with the 80Plus Gold rating.
