Hi guys, I'm planning on building a computer around christmas primarily for gaming. I have around £600 to spend so nothing extreme, just a fast computer with a decent graphical capabilities. I don't know a lot about computers so am liking for advice on components, anyone want to take it on and suggest a build? Am looking at getting a quad core with 2gb graphics card, should this be sufficient? Thanks guys!
