Good afternoon all, i am hoping someone can help me.
I am looking to buy a new PC, predominantly for gaming, my benchmark being Battlefield 3 in ultra settings, 1080p and hopefully still strong for BF4 when it comes out.
I have two quotes pending at the moment and I was wandering if you could look through the specs. and advise.
Please note I know a thing or two about PC's but my knowledge is VERY limited some please try to avoid blowing my mind with things I don't understand

£650.00 was my budget really but as you can see I have already gone past it but if i am upgrading I may as well do it properly.
I have done some internet searches and have seen a lot of conflicting and contradicting information (which the internet is famous for!)
Your guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Alex.
