Just new to the forums so hello everyone!

Anyway I'm thinking about getting a new PC for Christmas, one that is good for gaming and multi-tasking.

I'm completely new to desktops and such, but want a good gaming pc so I can stomp all over the opposition!

Just unsure about what takes priority when it comes to PC gaming. If anyone could help with a spec suggestion it would be great.

Thank you for the timely assistance. How is this machine for overclocking?

And Does PCSpecialist.co.uk install the maximum amount of fans? I've never installed anything within a comp so I wouldn't want to screw it up, hence my interest in this website.

I don't think it's a problem unless you're going to crossfire 2 of them and then it's usually down to the drivers. The same problem is known to exist for SLI but it's not a very common occurrence.
