[Swanky777]

Thanks for the specification Swanky

-Rubensolo, would I be able to go for a 2GB AMD Radeon HD7850 - or would that be a bit overkill for what i'd want it for?

For WoW and the Simms the HD 6870 would suffice, I'd go with the best GPU I can afford to futureproof your build.

Oh, another thing i forgot to mention! I would like to run it wireless, is there any way I can do that?

Go for homeplugs, I think PCS sells those for £38 a pair. More reliable than a wireless card.

This is how they work:

Yes, either add a wireless network card in the network facilities section, or add 2 homeplugs, many people use homeplugs cos they tend to be a bit more reliable and bascially act like a wired network

How do homeplugs work? Also, is it really easy to set up a desktop? Just a plug and go kind of job? (>meganoob question, does it come with the power lead for the power supply?)
Thanks for the help guys!

Ethernet cables between the homeplug and PC and homeplug and router. I enclosed a diagram on my previous post.

Apologies, didn't see the link Rubensolo sent.

That's probably because he edited it in after you'd already read the post
