Hi All
Just wondered if someone would mind looking over the spec I've come up with and giving me their thoughts, am looking for a (relatively) future proof gaming PC and I've got £1000 to spend, however it's been a few years since I've been in the market for a new rig so would be great to get some feedback. Have done a bit of research on processors and graphics cards, am open to ideas though. Only fixed requirement is need to have wireless networking option, will pinch the speakers from my old PC as well as they're still in pretty good shape! One query I do have though is the PSU, having looked at other specs, am thinking maybe I need a 600W unit?
Cheers in advance
