New gaming rig help

[Moorsey]

Hi guys, I am new to the forums and am looking to spend around £1000-£1200 on a gaming rig with a monitor that can/will play games like sky rim, BF3 and L4D2 at high settings with smooth game play.
I am fairly new to buying a custom build and can not really make a decision on what I need, therefore looking for some help and advise on making the right choice.

Thanks

Would you be able to push your budget to £1238? The GTX 670 will max all the games you mentioned at high settings. The spec below will allow you to SLI (add a 2nd GTX 670) in the future to improve performance. If you are not planning to SLI and want to keep the cost under £1200 you could downgrade the motherboard/PSU.

Thanks for taking the time producing this spec Rubensolo and I'm happy keeping it as it is for the SLI in future, although would you recommend stretching my budget for a bigger hard drive or a second one?


Thanks Moorsey.

Thanks Moorsey.

More than 1tb? It depends how many games you have You can always add a 2nd hard drive later on.

I Think I'll look at that at a later date if needed, like you said I can always add a second one.
Well I think this may well be my rig! I'll post back soon.

Thanks again for the help and advise, Moorsey.
