Building a Gaming Rig, help!

[EuanMc89]

Hello there.

I am currently planning to buy myself a new Gaming PC however, as I have little knowledge of hardware and the like, I've decided to ask you knowledgeable forum-goers for assistance.

- I want a gaming rig that will last for a few years with little to no upgrades and will run most/all current PC games (Shogun 2, TOR, Crysis 2, Guild Wars 2, etc etc) aswell as games in the next few years with little in the way of problems.
- Sadly, I'm running on a limited budget so won't be able to buy outright so will be getting this PC on finance. I'm limited to being able to pay about £100 a month.

And that's all there is to say really, I look forward to seeing the replies. ^^

Are you looking for a full tower case (some are pretty big) or a good sized mid tower? Just helps to decide which case would be best.

This spec comes to £38.36 per month,

Ya could up some components if you wanted to spend more, however, I don't think you need to.

Graphics Card
3GB AMD RADEON™ HD7950 - DVI,HDMI,2 mDP - DX® 11, Eyefinity 4 Capable really good gpu, you could up this to the 7970 or a gtx 680, but personally I think this is a good sweet spot, it also runs pretty cool and uses low power, with this rig, you can also add another 7950, with no need to upgrade the power supply, giving you a nice boost in performance, in the future, if you wanted to ofcourse.
