New PC

[MattyH]

Having experienced a few problems with my current pc i've decided to purchase something new. I already have a windows 7 disk from my current computer so the operating system isn't an issue. I have up to £800. The main uses will be internet browsing, lots of football manager, videos and a lot of music. I am thinking of getting more into pc gaming however so please bear that in mind.

I already have monitors, keyboard and a mouse. Suggestions please.

Thanks in advance.

^ this. Will allow you to play pretty much all modern games in max settings if you do get into pc gaming and it'll handle FM and browsing no problem. Can't see anything that I would change at all.

Nice, I can not have a desktop (under desk) system due to no room in my small house.

Hope it performs as wished.

Is it worth adding more funds to get a ssd?

Not really crucial to have one, having a caviar black drive is sufficient enough unless you're obsessed on boot times and load screens. I just have the 1tb Caviar Black and my desktop still boots very quickly and games run and load straight away. I'll think about it in the future but they're very expensive for the benefits.

I've heard good things about crysis. Would this run something like crysis 3 well?

Apologies for all the questions.
