Right, so here's the deal.
After starting working full time once finishing my A Levels, i am looking to build a gaming PC as my current laptop and PC are lagging behind on old tech (PC's still running AGP and a 3.00GHz Single Core) so as you can imagine, upgrading is kinda out of the question as other parts are failing anyway.
I was looking to build a new PC from the ground up, and aim to spend around £600, and obviously, the lower the better, and at this moment in time, my only set request is that the Antec Lanboy Air is fitted into that budget. And i know, sitting pretty at £130/40 it's quite a large chunk of the PC. So i guess what i really want to know is, can i still build a PC capable of WoW on High/Full and games such as Starcraft 2, Left 4 Dead 2 and Team Fortress 2 on High/Full Graphics (All at 1900 x 1200 Preferably)
Heres what i've looked at so far
