Hi guys, it's been a while since I've built a computer and I'm really out of whack regarding what's good these days. I came up with something but my friend said it was pretty naff so I thought I'd ask you guys for advice. Budget is £600 ($1200 for the Americans), doesn't matter if it's slightly over. It will be used mainly for gaming, I'm getting Age of Conan which is why I've decided to build a new computer because my current one just doesn't cut it anymore.

Thanks guys.

American prices are lower than ours by some margin so don't use Newegg as a guide. I'll have a look later at Scan.co.uk for you.

I agree with daisymtc's rig. Be aware though your board may need to have a BIOS flash to support the E8XX0 and Q9XX0 series of CPU's out of the box.
