    So here's my problem, im a bit outdated on whats good these days,
    I've got 700-800 quid to spend. Im gonna order my stuff from the uk for the obvious reason that ill get more for my money.
    So if you had that kind of cash what would you buy?

    If you are ordering from UK, ebuyer.com are good

    Also Ireland is quite competitive, e.g. Komplett

    What do you need your PC for? do you have OS monitor peripherals etc?

    Using it for gaming, sorry i should have said that. I would like win7 on it,
    I would love it to run modern warefare without breaking a sweat, but ill mostly be using it for css. I have everything else, all i need is the system :)

    ive a computer in college that does everything you ask, and a hella lot more.
    It doesn't cost the world either.

    p5q deluxe motherboard
    qx6700
    8gb ddr2 ram
    5770 gpu
    23" full hd monitor.

    runs modern warfare 2, batman arkham asylum, prototype, crysis, new avp etc without a hiccup.

    you could easily build something similiar if not better for 700 quid.
