Approximate Purchase Date: As soon as I possibly can depending on the prices.
Budget Range: £200-600
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, surfing the internet, watching movies, and the other typical things that you would do with a normal P.C.
Parts Not Required: Only thing I really need is the Computer itself. I have a Sony Bravia HD1080p tv that should be able to play anything I need it too, as it has vga/hdmi inputs.
Preferred Websites for Parts: www.amazon.co.uk www.overclockers.co.uk etc.
Country: UK, West Midlands.
Parts Preferences: Intel have the best processors so I want to have one of these in my computer. Want the build to be future proof as well.
Overclocking: I don't quite know how to overclock anything as this would be my first gaming P.C but I would like for the build to be overclock-able as I can easily learn how to as I go.
SLI or Crossfire: Don't mind about it, or even having it. Which ever is the best for what it is I want out of the build.
Additional Comments: Would prefer my case to look presentable, preferably in black, as well. Would like it to have a window and I would like it to have led's as well, blue would be preferred. But most of all, I basically want the build to be as fast as possible at running the high end games, without any loss of frames, at the highest settings, but be most cost effective as possible as I am a student and do not have a deep pocket.
Because I'm not new at this, any help given is muchly appreciated. I would take my time to learn everything that I can (Which I am doing already) but with an amazing forum with the possibility to just ask people and use the knowledge they have already gained to make an educated choice on what parts I should get for my build is more effective as I want to be able to play games asap. What would be the best operating system to use on it as well, as I am fond of Windows XP, but if it's important to use Windows 7 than I will upgrade.
As said before, any help is muchly appreciated!
