    Hey folks,

    Finally going to get around to replacing my current gaming build. I have an alright GPU already but open to suggestions. My current case is an Antec 1200 so would be looking to get something in a similiar vein if possible. Looking for value really more than anything, any help greatly appeciated! :)

    1. What is your budget? 600-700

    2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? Gaming mostly but some college work. Guild Wars 2, Mass Effect 3 etc.
    2.
    3. Do you need a copy of Windows? [No] Have one from college.

    4. Can you use any parts from an old computer? I have a 480GTX which I picked up last year. Seems to run everything no bother so wouldn’t be looking to upgrade unless I’d see a massive difference in performance.
    3.
    5. Do you need a monitor? [No] Have a 22”. VGA input only though so will be looking to replace soon enough. I’m guessing the res is 1920x1080

    6. Do you need any of these peripherals? Nope.

    7. Are you willing to try overclocking? [Yes] Not going to bother watercooling but whatever I can manage through BIOS without overheating too much.

    8. How can you pay? [Bank Transfer/Credit Card/Laser]

    9. When are you purchasing? Anytime from next week onwards.
