Hi there guys. I will be moving to Japan within the next few weeks to complete my last year in University and I will regrettably be leaving behind my current system. I will therefore need a new system, which will be completely gaming orientated and I will do my work on a laptop.

The budget of the build needs to be no more than £1000 and ALL the parts need to be sourced from Scan.co.uk as a have a £300 purchase voucher with them.

Use whatever parts/make you feel like, but ensure that it is optimized to get the high FPS. No Keyboard and Mouse or OS is needed, but a 120GB SSD will have to be fitted within the budget.

Thank you very much for your help :)!

if your not interested in SLI/Crossfire, then downgrade the power supply and the motherboard to reflect that :)
