So I've spent the last few days trundling around the internets in search of building myself a new gaming PC. I'm pretty much done, but thought it would be wise to ask advice from those who know more about this techno stuff that I do.

My budget is £2000 (about $3000). Here is what I was looking at (Just a note, almost all the links are to ebuyer because I'm a lazy shit):

Also need to find a keyboard and mouse, but havn't looked into that yet.

Any advice from someone who knows more about all this than i do would be great ^^;


You're wasting your money spending that much as no game needs a £1000 rig, let alone one that price. 

Honestly, wait until next gen games appear later this year/early next year and see what specs they demand, THEN build a PC.
