Hello all,
Looking at sorting out a new PC. I originally bought one off pcspecialist in 2011 and have given it a few upgrades over the years.
Im currently running a I5 2500k at 4ghz, 970 GTX and 8gb RAM. However, the liquid cooler is on its way out, so i figure its time to start from a solid new CPU/Motherboard base. I have a budget of £1000-1200. Looking to play games on high fps on a single 1920 x 1080 monitor. Been out of the loops in terms of value/whats good/whats not so any advice would be appreciated. I have crafted the build below.
