I'm looking to put together a list of PC components to purchase once i get my next paycheck, I'm putting a budget of £600-700 towards building a new gaming computer as the one i'm currently using, I've had since 2007.
There's only one problem.. I've never built a gaming computer and i understand very little about the hardware, I'm basically after a system that is able to play the current gen games on the highest setting possible with the allotted budget, being able to record game play while being a plus, isn't a necessity if it is going to push my budget up a lot more.
Could someone with more knowledge on this subject please provide any recommendations for me? Putting the PC together won't be a problem, as a lot of people tell me its really not hard, and after looking at some guides on the internet, it seems very straightforward, but the hardware part, I'm completely stumped!
Edit: Forgot to mention that i won't be needing the peripherals, monitor, keyboard & mouse i have, I will need an Operating system and Anti-virus, so i'll be going for Win7 & AVG.
