Hello forum,
So I've decided to be done with all these little minor upgrades on my current pc and just build a newly built gaming machine and for editing and various video rendering and stuff.

Current PC :
Amd Phenom II X4 965
4GB 2133Mhz ram Corsair dominator GT
Corsair CX500 PSU
NZXT M59
Nvidia GTX560 TI
Some crappy 785G chipset motherboard
Seagata Barracuda 500GB 7200.12

Now I keep updating my pc every 3-6 months because some of the newer games and I just can't be bothered to be cheap and upgrading my graphics card or more RAM.

Went from a GTS250 > GTX275 > 5870 > GTX560 TI (I know same performance)

I just want to use this pc as a spare now and build a proper gaming pc any recommended parts for the best price doesn't include monitor, mouse and keyboard etc just the components thanks.
