Desktop mid-range (?) gaming build

[justafolk]

Main game, SWTOR, MW3, GTA4

Budget: € 900 - 1000 including delivery and os

Should there be anything I can/want to perk up at the expense of something else? got another 100€s free apparently which I don't know where to put.

Thx for any advice.

Maybe a better GPU since you can afford it, such as a 770? And maybe get a 1tb HDD, I have a 500gb HDD and it's not enough for all my games!

Upgrade the warranty to silver. It's £5 more.
For this budget you would get a much better gaming build if you went for an AMD cpu.

I would suggest something like this:
It's just over your 1000 euro budget.
