I live in the UK with a budget of £450 for a desktop and £150 for a netbook for when I leave for University. I am a beginner and this would be my first build, Iwould like a desktop that could play games like Skyrim and Rome II Total War and not on the highest settings but decent enough. I am willing to spend more on both if the gains are worth it. I also have been looking for components and I like the look of a Phenom x4 965 but I have no preference for make or model of components. The netbook i'm not really fussed about as its just for web browsing and simple office tasks, the bigger the screen better but I am not really fussed. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks!

With your budget I may be able to give you my specs since you're asking for decency of games and I suppose it would be stock speed only no overcloking, right? If that be the case here it is:

Intel DH77EB
Intel Core i5 - 3570
Cooler Master Hyper 212
HD 7770
8Gb Gskills Ripjaws 1600 ram
Cougar ST 500 watts

the price of this in my country is around £400 - £420 since you still have an extra 30 you can go with 7870? nor sure about the price at your place and my build if you want to go for it is just an option, you can copy it with different brands.
