Hey Spot30, welcome to the forums

Yeah I'd imagine that would be fine for the games you want to play, but just out of curiosity, what's your budget?

Okay Spot30, I'll have a little look and see what I can come up with, but you've pretty much nailed it on the head

1. I've changed the case as the one you had was more for general use, the one I've chosen is more focused on gaming but still at a cheap cost (£35), better for cooling the components and such, which is what you need in a gaming machine

2. I've upgraded to the 965 at 3.4ghz because it'll add that little bit more, plus it's slightly newer so will keep your computer going that little bit longer

3. You won't need 8gb of RAM so I've downgraded to 4gb, you mainly only need high amounts of RAM when running many applications simultaneously or running graphic/video editing programs, 4gb is fine for running games as these mostly rely upon graphics cards

4. I've kept your choice for graphics card as this is a good buy and will give you a lot of great gaming experience

5. I've also included the 1tb caviar green HDD as this is a reliable HD and is pretty much becoming standard from other posts I've read throughout the forums

Hope this helps
