Hello, I'm looking to get a gaming pc which will run all of the latest games on ultra settings. My budget is around £850. The reason that i'm not building a pc is because I have no previous experience and my parents will not let me anyway.

The components that I would be looking for would be an intel core i5-4670k processor with some good gtx graphics card and with at least 8 gigs of ram.

If you have any suggestions/links please post them.
 
Realistically you can NOT run "all the latest games on Ultra", especially on a i5, because the latest games (BF4, AC4, etc.) are very CPU intensive and the more 'cores' the more the system can perform (Ultra instead of High) with normal 1080P 60+FPS, etc. You need a i7, and you would need a serious video card (over $300) to keep up with the system and perform "latest games on Ultra" and not choke. So right off your looking at something MUCH more expensive then 800pounds. If you can 'deal' with HIGH settings, then the one suggest is very good and will make you happy.

Rule of thumb, if you dont' want to spend ALOT of money to 'future proof' a PC system, GO CONSOLE. Consoles will ALWAYS play any game to the fullest, no worries about video cards, or parts or updating drivers, installing OS patches, opening the case to clean out the dust bunnies, etc. etc. etc. (which you still will need to do anyway). Best of all after 4 years you do not NEED to replace a console to play 'the latest games', where as in PCs you need to start shopping for a replacement in year 5 because you will not ever be able to play "Ultra" again.
