If anybody has any suggestions for some of the newer stuff i'll happily take it onboard, i'm happy to spend up to £800-850, however, i'm not really interested in components such as SSD's (They really don't appeal to me, I simply take a bite of baguette when i'm on loading screens)

Thanks in advance, Winkay
