I'm looking for a fast desktop pc which I will use for playing games such as WoW and minecraft at max settings
I'm also going to use it a lot for browsing the internet and watching media.
I have a budget of £700 and I'm don't want to overclock it , any suggestions will help me but I want to make sure I'm getting the best I can afford.

Thats a nice spec, also I don't need the windows operating system do is there anything I can do with the extra money which will improve the spec :)

The obvious place to put the extra cash would be into the GPU. Having said that, you will probably only be able to afford to upgrade to the 560Ti, so i would be tempted to leave it as is and save yourself the money for an upgraded GPU later.

id say upgrading to the 560 ti is worth it

you could always spend some extra money on a case as well

In that case is there anyway you can add an extra £10 to your budget if so you an go for this 1 which i have dropped the CPU down slightly but put a better GPU in, if you want to keep the CPU from the 1st spec i did then the total would be £716.
