Hey guys. I just wanted some opinions on a build that would total £800 with the focus on being able to upgrade effectively in the future without sacrificing performance now. I already have a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and have ordered Geil Corsa (4x4gb) 16gb 1866mhz ram and windows 7 professional. I play many games, although I like rts games the most generally, so I would prefer an intel processor, unless anyone thinks amd will fit better. I would also like a decent psu with a good 12v rail and wattage so I can reuse it in a future build.
Best build within £800-1000
