Start low and upgrade later, ideas?

[mizz]

Hello everyone,
My laptop is almost dead and unfortunately I'll have to move on soon. It had a fan problem which I changed 3 months ago but now it started making almost the same noise as before which means is going down. (my fault, I shouldn't have played the witcher on it)
I've been planning to build a pc but kept waiting and waiting but now it's time to start looking into it and get some pieces.
The laptop is: intel i7 2630QM, 8gb ram, Amd Radeon 6770m.


I already have a 240gb ssd and a 3tb external hard drive so for the beginning I can use the ssd and keep the external hdd in a usb port until I will upgrade.

Approximate Purchase Date: as soon as possible

Budget Range:600£ with shipping

System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming, watching movies

Are you buying a monitor: Yes

Do you need to buy OS: No

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: don't know, I'm in the UK so maybe something local which will be easier for delivery

Location: UK

Overclocking: Yes

SLI or Crossfire:/ No
Wanted Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080 or 1920x1200

I think I checked all the boxes. Add a better CPU cooler later if you want to overclock. A little over budget, but you may find you won't need to upgrade for quite some time with an i5/GTX960 combo.
