If you bought your PC prebuilt, it woud probably be best to just link the model of your PC.

At what resolution and FPS?

Keep in mind that this probably won't be cheap.

It's an Acer Aspire G7200, if you look at the dxdiag log next to "System Model."

I posted my reply before he updated his post, so I apologize for not updating my post to reflect that.

Even £700 is probably more than enough to build a really good PC. If I had the time I could pick out the parts for you, but I'm sure someone else will regardless.
