Hi there,
I've been out of the PC building game for about 5 years now. Last thing I remember the 7800GTX was the best GFX card ever! I now have no idea what on earth I'm looking at...
After some research I've decided to go for something like this:
ASUS Crosshair V Formula 990FX Socket AM3+ 8 Channel audio ATX Motherboard
AMD FX-4 4100 Black Edition 4 Core 3.6Ghz Socket AM3+ 8MB L3 Cache Retail Boxed Processor
G-Skill 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600Mhz RipjawsX Memory Kit CL9 (9-9-9-24) 1.5V
Seagate 500GB 3.5" SATA-III 6Gb/s Barracuda Hard Drive 7200RPM 16MB Cache
LiteOn iHBS112 12x BD-RE with DVD±RW DL & RAM SATA Blu-Ray Drive - OEM Black
Antec TruePower New 650W Modular PSU
XFX HD 6970 2GB GDDR5 Dual DVI HDMI Dual DP Out PCI-E Graphics Card
OCZ 60GB Agility 3 SSD - 2.5" SATA-III - Read 525MB/s Write 475MB/s 80,000 IOPS
Samsung SyncMaster S24A350H LCD LED 24" HDMI Monitor
Approximate Purchase Date: ASAP
Budget Range: £1,000
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming
Parts Not Required: Keyboard, Mouse, Case
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: www.ebuyer.com, www.scan.co.uk
Country: U.K
Parts Preferences: AMD / ATI
Overclocking: Don't care
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Monitor Resolution: 22"+
Many thanks,
James
