Gaming PC under £800?

Member
Hi guys,
My current computer is unusable for games(Samsung N150, no DVD/CD slot, cracked screen, tortoise when more than two tabs are open) and I was hoping to buy a new one(I considered building but I haven't got the time I'm afraid). Problem is, I have no clue what to get, what are good brands etc.. I'm hoping to use this computer for Photoshop, and games like Skyrim and Assassin's Creed on high at a good frame rate. It also needs to be fast. My budget is about ~£800 at the moment so if any of you have ideas, such as what brand, that would be much appreciated.

would recommend getting the limited edition 560Ti if you can, that would definitely help your computer last longer, you could also go to 8GB if you want to

Yeah, the intel spec would be better. I would recommend thinking about the limited edition 560, it is much faster! Best of luck, I am sure you won't be dissapointed!
