I am going to be buying from pcspecialist and would like recommendations for a mid range gaming rig that will comfortably run games like civ 5/total war rome 2/cnc2.

I will not be playing anything like cod or bf this is a rig purely for the above games or similar and maybe wow.

Purchase will be immediate and budget is between £500-800 (with a monitor 21" preferably). Have not decided any specs yet so AMD/Intel doesn't matter to me nor the GPU.


Any advice is welcomed :)

Cheers mate, forgot to say but I don't need a keyboard/mouse and would like an SSD as my primary drive. (Would you recommend the SSD or will a 32MB cache 1TB do?)
