Hi all, currently looking at building a new rig in the next month or so, ideally something that I can get good use out of. Wouldn't mind replacing the GPU next year if needed. Ideally I would like an i5 CPU (would possibly consider an OC in the near future), 8 gig of ram and an SSD. With that many variables on parts however, I'm struggling to come up with anything and hoping some of you fine brains can help me out!
Budget : £400-£500
Resolution : Unsure atm, running a 5 y/o Acer monitor at 1680/1050 currently (input on whether to upgrade monitor appreciated)
Games / Settings Desired : WoW, GW2, Diablo 3, possibly some others but not too fussed as most are available on console too.
Any other intensive software or special things you do (Frequent video encoding, 3D modeling, etc) : Music Production, limited photoshop work
Country : UK
Parts that can be reused : M-Audio Audiophile 192 Soundcard, Antec 900 Two v2 Case
Do you need an OS? : Considering it for the option to upgrade to Windows 8 for £10
Do you need peripherals (e.g. monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc)? : Possibly monitor (read resolution part)
