I could do with some advice on a gaming desktop.

Its a desktop for gaming, general stuff, but mainly gaming. i have a mbp for my uni work so this needs nothing on it whatsoever except probably steam. maximum max is £1k

Hoping to do this within 2-3months. Over clocking is ok, although I'm unsure of the implications of it. (expensive, reliable etc etc) so i can either over clock now, or later.

Looks are nothing, preferably easy to self upgrade (i can upgrade myself say, just can't build) Preferably i need to order it and have it built for me.
low noise is preferable but again, its more down to the work and reliability of the machine. Upgradable in the future is wanted too.

I have no os to transfer.

thanks.

Preferably i need it built or easily assembled.
