Hello im a massive newcomer to the world of pc gaming so if i make any rookie or retarded errors please excuse them, im looking for a build between 500-600 pound which i belive is around 800-1000 dollars.

I do not require to play games on the top top graphics, i just require a good quality gaming computer which can perform at average graphics without the graphical lag.

I will also be using the desktop to download films and music and some internet surfing.

I do not require speakers, mouse, keyboard.

I am a massive noob when it comes to pc gaming and the workings of the pc itself so any guides u may also know of or somthing which can help me that will greatly be appreciated, please suggest a compatible and good build, cheers and thanks for any help. =]

If you can scrape together some extra cash I'd recommend bumping up to a 22-24 inch monitor. You'd be surprised how big a difference it can make on your gaming/movie experience!

Any extra cash should be used to move on up to a i5 (quad core) imo seeing how if anything will improve that build in regards to gaming, it will be going from a dual core cpu to a quad core cpu.

Looks like you put alot of effort into finding this build looks great cheers for the reccomendation im going to do some research on the products u advised =], on a personal note do you think it would be upgrading to the quad core because i can get some more money, because at the moment this build is looking very high quality and im sceptical as to wether it would be worth it?

Im gonna look into the compatability of these components =]

If I was going to change anything in that build, it would be the cpu to this one down below. There is a sizable difference between a quad core cpu and a dual core cpu in regards to gaming (FPS). And yes all the components are compatible or I wouldn't have posted them. :)
