im getting a big payment in july and im looking to buy a computer that will run shogun 2, empire total war, black and white 2, possible WoW, Oblivion and the newly announced Skyrim on medium to high or possibly highest settings here are the Specs required for the games. (not sure if it is to get maximum quality however.

So are you goin to purchase the pc now or in July, becuase if it is in July there will be a few new releases of pc components by then, and it would be best to ask about that time, however if you want to purchase a pc now, and maybe use the finance option buy now and pay 6-12 later, then you could do that.
There are two spec below, the first is a cheaper option, at the lower limit of your buget and the second one is a bit more expensive.

Btw are planing to do overclocking? If so you might consider getting a pc overlocked by PcSpecialists,that way you will not void your warrranty on your cpu.
