    Hi all .. just looking for a bit of advice on a decent sort of gaming pc upgrade :pac: ,
    What do you make of this ..

    1. What is your budget? €700-€1000 maybe more if i need a psu

    2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? Gaming .. anything new and old
    3. Do you need a copy of Windows? No probably stick with 7

    4. Can you use any parts from an old computer?
    Its an old enough pc ( intel Q6600 on asus P5Q , 4 gig ddr2 , Radeon HD 4850 and a few 1tb harddrives) hopefully be able to salvage ,

    Case: antec 300 (might upgrade should i need too)
    Psu: OCZTECH 600W Active PFC GameXStream (would like to keep if possible, but if i have to change modular would be nice )
    ... have all the small stuff: keyboard, mouse, dvd-rw

    5. Do you need a monitor? No not at the min my old 22" will do for a while

    5b. If no, what resolution is your current monitor and do you plan to upgrade in the near future? At least 1920x1080 but thats in the future , at the min my 22 is at 1680x1050

    6. Do you need any of these peripherals? nope

    7. Are you willing to try overclocking? would prefer not to

    8. How can you pay? how ever i need to

    9. When are you purchasing? soon

    10. If you need help building it, where are you based? im good, it wont be my first
