Gaming PC components

[smc01]

Hi I'm looking to get into pc gaming but unsure of the components to get for it, cpu, graphics card, motherboard etc.
I'm looking to spend any where around £1000/1200 just on the Base unit.
Any help would be much appreciated

What kind of monitor resolution will you playing with? And do you have the OS already?

In any case, without an OS you could get something like this:

Something like this? Do you have a Windows copy on hand, because I included one in the event you didn't.

Should crush 1080p gaming, be a nice thing for 1440p.
