Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: Next few weeks.
Budget Range: £600 - £1200.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming.
Are you buying a monitor: No, I already have an Asus ve276q.
Parts to Upgrade: Everything its a new build.
Do you need to buy OS: Yes, i'm still running xp.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Anywhere is fine, my budget is a bit flexible.
Location: England, Leicestershire.
Parts Preferences: I kinda have my heart set on an intel i5 cpu (not sure about model) and I haven't found a case I like more than the Haf X - full tower gaming case. Apart from those parts I don't mind.
Overclocking: No... Maybe just the cpu.
SLI or Crossfire: No.
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080.
Additional Comments: I would like to be able to play the new Starcraft 2 expansion on ultra.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I built my current pc about 6 years ago and it still plays every game on the market on low settings. I am hoping my new pc will play everything currently out on ultra and last for a good 4-5 years and still be able to play stuff on low. I have picked out some parts already, any comments or suggestions would be appreciated. I like to keep things as simple as possible which means a single HDD and I'm not paying insane prices for a big SSD.
