[rjsj9803]

Hi All,
I am not at all computer savvy and I am looking for a gaming PC, mainly use second life and WOW I have spent days researching and in all honesty I am tying myself in knots here.
I have a £3000 budget and have looked closely at dual GTX 780 ti paired with maybe a i7 4770k OC or x79 i4960k OC, but with this new Radeon r9 295x hitting the market could you please help me decide what I should be leaning towards, you guys will give unbiased view as oppose to many of the write up i have strained my eyes reading the last few days!
Help appreiated,
Regards Ciaraleigh

There should be a new set of 1150 socket CPUs coming out in a few weeks so you may want to wait for those. Maybe grab one of the new i7-4790s that will be coming out.

Hello, If you only plan to play second life and WOW, you are seriously wasting money by buying such expensive hardware.
Do you plan to use multiple monitors?
Do you want a 1440p or higher res monitor?
Info like this will help saving you at least £1000.
I'll post a build suitable to your requirements after you answer these questions.
