    Hi all, I currently have i5 laptop with SSD for OS and HDD for storage. It does the job fine and is fast but running games on it isnt really a good idea even if they arent graphic intensive games.

    I'm looking to build a PC that is really fast with general day to day tasks and can easily handle games I throw at it (wouldn't have to be ultra high settings). The option of upgrading in the future would be handy aswel. I have a 42" LCD that I was going to use but read up about them being useless as everything would be stretched. I'll try sell this and buy a monitor instead if you can recommend one. SSD is a must as I'm use to fast boot speeds. Also I've alot of music and movies. Data transfer on my laptop are always a pain so if something can be done about that it be great, USB 3.0 or any other suggestions.

    Thanks
