Good evening everyone.
I'm looking at buying a new gaming pc. My current desktop is rather old and definitely needing replaced!
The sort of games I like to play are BF4, Fifa and FSX (with complex addons). I've been looking into a new pc for sometime now and I think I'm finally getting closer to a conclusion. Could you please have a look at my specs and tell me what I could benefit from changing.
I'm on a budget of about £1100 and not definitely sure on case choice (recommendations would be greatly appreciated.)
