Hey guys,

I've taken a back seat to the developments of the industry for a couple of years, as such I'd love some advice for updating my old rig. It's primarily going to be used for 1080p gaming, I'm a bit of a stickler for maxing out games.

Anyway, hope you guys will shed some light and advice, cheers in advanced.
Obviously, some components need to be updated as a necessity.
