Hey there guys,
So i'm still running XP on a terrible old system but its chugging away and slowly running out of steam, figured it was time to upgrade, everywhere I've looked I've heard that the best way to get a good PC for the best value is to make it yourself, or at least buy the parts individually.
So a couple of weeks ago i started putting together some parts with help from a friend but they've since become unavailable (Friend that was helping me not the parts :P) so im stuck midway with no real help. Would love to get some input on whats already there and some suggestions to fill in the blanks

Anyway, consider me a utter naab because i'm really not too sure, thanks.
Budget - Around £600, possibly willing to go up to £700 depending on how much of a difference its going to make, whether its worth it or not etc.
Resolution - Honestly not too fussed, the higher the better but i'm willing to drop on quality for a considerable price difference.
Games / Settings Desired - Generally the newer stuff coming out, Bioshock Infinite, Tomb Raider, Far Cry (On medium/high settings) and stuff like the Witcher 2 and Battlefield 3 (On medium with a steady framerate) Not too fussed about the quality as long as it looks pretty and runs steady.
Any other intensive software or special things you do (Frequent video encoding, 3D modeling, etc) - I do quite a bit of 3D modelling so most of the Adobe and Autodesk suite, no video editting or streaming that I plan of.
Country - UK
Parts that can be reused - None
Do you need an OS? - Somewhat, think ill be able to get one but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Do you need peripherals (e.g. monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc)? - Nope
