Hey all,

Just need a bit of advice where I could improve on this, i'm looking to spend no more than £1k on this;

I havent had a top performing PC for a long time now so the only game i play is Football Manager, but I would like to start watching films and making music on this so any suggestions or downgrades to make it cheaper will be a great help!

You don't need the K version or 1600Mhz RAM unless you're overclocking the CPU yourself and you'd need at least the titan fenrir to do that. 4GB of RAM is fine for gaming so instead with the money I've upgraded the graphics card and the power supply so that you can crossfire a second HD6950 later, the HDD has been upgraded for faster loading times and the silver warranty has been added.
