Approximate Purchase Date: between now and end of August, can wait if there is something big around the corner from then though.
Budget Range: 800 British pounds = 1 314.4 U.S. dollars, obviously the cheaper the better, I just need it to be able to do the things I require
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Warching movies, online video game streaming (own3d, xfire etc.) frapsing video games for youtube, playing video games at generally high graphics. surfing the web, music.
Parts Not Required: keyboard, speakers, mouse.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Any UK Based site or at least one that delivers to the UK fairly easily
Country of Origin: England
Parts Preferences: generally prefer intel and nvidia as I have used them for every computer and laptop I've had but if there is better bang for the buck in AMD and ATI I'm more than happy to try them out
Overclocking: Yes
SLI or Crossfire: Not at the moment but in the future will most likely be added.
Monitor Resolution:1920x1200
I have been looking at the following build in the threads however my only problem is the RAM and the HDD, How much would it cost to up these quite a bit and other than that would the build be able to run games such as: League of Legends, Skyrim, SC2, Shogun 2, SWTOR and so on, I play a wide variety of games and record a lot of videos and stream often so I am in need of something that can handle me running fraps or streaming while I play. but with my current laptop I'm unable to play them at the settings I would like (high) and it is consistently over heating
Oh and just incase anyone from the UK is in here, could anyone reccomend a site that would have these parts? I'm looking currently just prefer to order it all from once place.
Thanks for reading

This is a GTX 580! The most powerful single GPU gaming card! This is the epitome of a single GPU card configuration. It doesn't get better than this.
With full SLI support (minus power supply ) this build can take anything you can throw at it. It outperforms similar builds with dual 6850's, and demolishes any single GPU config there is.
If you want a single card, this is the way to go.
