Advise for buying my first gaming pc.

[noun_Creature]

This is my first time buying my own gaming computer, my budget is around £700-£800. A monitor is not an issue, and my keyboard, mouse and internet need to be wireless. I would like it to be able to run high end games but i don't particularly mind if they cannot be maxed. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you. I am really looking forward to getting my first gaming computer and I really appreciate your help.

On a side note, would you say that fast track delivery is worth the extra charge?

Morning,
I'd put more money in your built. For instance homeplugs would give you a more reliable internet connection than a wireless card but you need a pair (£38) or get a 1tb HDD.

Will home-plugs work with multi-tap sockets?

Like a socket extension lead? It should work, surge protectors may cause interference.

I will probably invest in a set of them. Also + rep.

Thanks for the rep
The HD 7870 will allow you to play games like Battlefield 3 at high settings.
