Hey,

I'm looking at spending between £750-£1000 on a new custom build and wanted your opinions on what would work best for gaming and watching films.

Ideally looking for an i7 or AMD equivalent, a HD graphics card and a decent/nice case.

Really appreciate any help, so what would you guys suggest?
 
Sorry, new to this fourm.

Gaming isn't hardcore, looking for things like RCT3 and that kind of thing, not crysis or anything, so whatever you think is best.

Looking at 22" LED Monitors (Must support at least 2) and already have Windows 7.
 
What does everybody think to this;


CPU; AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 980 Black Edition "140W Edition" 3.70GHz - £139.99
Mobo; Asus Crosshair IV Formula AMD 890FX (Socket AM3/AM3+) DDR3 Motherboard £129.98
RAM; Corsair memory 8GB Vengeance Performance Kit (2x4GB) DDR3 1333MHz - £39.95
GPU; Asus GeForce GTX 560 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card - £147.98
HDD; Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 32MB Cache - £47.99
PSU; Corsair Enthusiast Series TX650M High Performance 650W Modular Power Supply - £89.99
Case; Corsair Obsidian 650D Gaming Midi Tower - Black - £124.99

Total; £720.87

Would that be a good rig to have, any improvements on it?
