Approximate Purchase Date: Hopefully within the next week
Budget Range: £600-700 for the unit itself not worried about peripherals yet
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Main purpose being able to multi-task, used mainly for media (Music & Films) and University work but also surfing the internet and casual gaming doesn't need to run game on high settings happy with medium
Parts Not Required: Like stated above not looking at peripherals yet will ne
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: none but have £60 Amazon gift voucher that I would like to use though
Country: England
Parts Preferences: pretty much set on the CPU and GPU but would like to keep as cheap as possible
Overclocking: Yes (unlikely to up voltage for a while though)
SLI or Crossfire: possibly in the future
Monitor Resolution: Not Fussed
Additional Comments: I can get Windows OS disck from my University so not worried about that mainly wondering if I have made any compatability errors and what people generally think of the parts. Also not too sure about the case and the Power supply could I get either for Cheaper? I'm really not worried about Aestetics. Finally is it worth getting a sound card to play music, or will a decent set of speakers do the job adequately?
