Hey guys, wanted to get your opinions on the best gaming, video editing/rendering setup. I have some knowledge of pc's but not as much it seems as you guys on here. I started a thread yesterday but think I may have titled and put it across wrong. I just wanted some ideas on the best most powerful setup I could get for around £950 that can keep up to speed with todays games. I literally just need the tower as have monitor and all that stuff already. I also have blueray drive already aswell.
Past thread with what I had chosen before http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?6134-Looking-to-buy......Vortex-600would be cool if you could give me your views on my selections and any changes I should make.
Cheers guys.

Teaz is spot on again... I feel my job might be under review soon :p

Seriously though, the spec is spot on for what your described use would be, just don't forget the Silver Warranty when you place the order, best £5 you could spend!
