Opinions/Advice on buying a new PC

[InfamousP]

I am looking towards buying a new computer to replace my VERY old device. I will probably be using the computer for some games such as Guild Wars 2 (when released), TERA, Dota 2, etc. As well as some general internet usage. Please note that I am definetely NOT an expert on computers in any way.
The computer I am looking at looks like this.

CPU: ivy bridge i5 3550 3.3 Ghz
Motherboard: Gigabyte New H77 B3 Revision, LGA1155, 4x DDR3 slots
RAM: 8GB DDR3
Video Card: nVidia Geforce GTX 560
HDD: Western Digital 1TB

Any opinions/suggestions welcome.

That is a good setup and could handle a better GPU although the GTX560 is not at all a bad card and should be sufficient for those games.

+1^ Get the GTX560 Ti

Actually, wait...Nvidia have just released the lower end 6xx series cards. It won't be long until the successor to the 560Ti comes along. Alternatively, get the AMD 7850...approximately the same price as the 560Ti but much better performance.

Ok, thanks for the quick replies. Also is the i5 3550 worth upgrading to a 3570K?

If you plan to overclock yes!
