Hi, basically I'm trying to get a computer from a specialist site (computerplanet.co.uk) however worse case scenario, I have £600 to spend on a gaming computer. So ... what are the best parts for a gaming computer.

However, I will need a monitor, mouse and keyboard but I do have my own operating system disc (Windows 8).

I would preferable like to play on maybe high settings in 1920x1080 with a 50+ frame rate but I don't know if that is achievable with my budget.

Also, I checked the forums and all I could find was $600 posts so I thought, best to just create a new thread.

Edit, sorry, i just realized youre buying a prebuilt.
