You should think about self-building instead of getting a prenuilt desktop.

You'll save more money, and you'll have a stronger system overall.

Have a look in the stickies for the form to fill out so we can help you get the best PC for your needs.

The thing is I don't know anything about building PC's or much about PC specs.

You don't need to; if you just fill out the form we'll sort out a build for you and have it ready to go for you to buy. The website that is used here also offers a build service so it'd be plug-in-and-play.

That's the one, you can just post it in this thread.

It's getting late so I won't be able to post a build, but I'll be on it in the morning.

If anyone wants to help this gentleman out in the meantime it'd be greatly appreciated.

Don't buy anything less than a 660ti from nVidia the old 5 series has had it.
