Tradition Gaming Rig Price up

[Icedphire]

Hey all, You must all be getting sick of seeing these threads!
But here I am with a question...

A month today i'm going to be needing a new desktop.
I've been gaming with my laptop for the past year, don't get me wrong,
it handles games really well, But it still doesn't fill the gap of a desktop

My old desktop is a 6 year old Alienware with worse specs than my phone..
So i'm coming to OCUK to build a new one for me
I'm going to have around £1000-1200, If its nice enough ill stretch to £1500
But i'd like it to be Watercooled ( I don't trust myself with this ) and
Overclocked. Hopefully a bit future proof with an SSD.

This is what im using right now, it does the job haha!


Can anyone price me up a nice shopping list to look through?

Thanks
