Hey Guys! I made this exact post back in January but unfortunately I ran into some misfortune which meant having to spend the money i'd previously saved for my rig on other life expenses. I'm back though with the above budget. My old/current PC has now actually completely broken, hard drive bricked (luckily backed up what i needed the DAY before it happened)
Here is the same post I made before slightly tweaked, I'm looking to build this ASAP so your help will be invaluable!
Had some great responses last time but thought i should remake the post as it's been 4 months

Hey everyone!
Gaming is a huge hobby and I haven't really been able to for the last year which has really sucked, bills and living costs have stopped me until now
Unfortunately I haven't kept up with components, at this point I need some real help making a build that will give me the best performance for my budget, i'm really hoping some of you guys can help me out, it would be REALLY appreciated
My budget is £1200 total.
Main purpose for the machine is definitely gaming, games I current have are League of legends, battlefield 4, Europa Universalies 4, Crusader Kings 2, Skyrim. I want the PC ideally to be able to handle new titles on high settings but only you guys will know if my budget will permit that!
I only require the tower, I have a monitor (BenQ G2222HDL 21.5" widescreen), sound set up and peripherals (stock keyboard and mouse but I can upgrade these later)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I should note guys I live close to CCL which I know is sometimes the cheapest option on PC Part Picker for parts. If prices are pretty close (within £10) then CCL would be more ideal as I can go pick them up from there in the car.
Your help is REALLY appreciated. I know it's a great community here even though I haven't been here long.
Any explanations as to why you choose certain parts would be great but obviously only if time permits you!.
Huge thanks in advance
