I'm hoping to use this PC hopefully for gaming but also work, I'm hoping for it to last 2-3 years being fairly reliable and allowing me to get good performance on new gaming titles.

My budget is around £1200-1400.

Any comments/Suggestions/Additional info questions etc etc would be most welcome

Pricewise right now I'd look at the nVidia cards, can get a better card for same price as a 280X, also might switch the CPU cooler to a Hyper 212 EVO, to beat the EVO cooling will need a H100 and the EVO costs less than the H60
