    Hey, time to upgrade the PC again. It's about 18 months since I upgraded last and at the time I think I just got a new graphics card and a chip (forget if I got anything else.

    I would like a new case as the USB ports on my current case are busted. I haven't had a sound card in a very long time and I would like to get one if it's reasonably priced.

    I currently have an i5-2500K 3.30Ghz, 8 gigs of 1600 ram and an NVIDIA GTX 660ti. The PC is fine, I just need that extra power.

    1. What is your budget? 500-700 euro I would say.

    2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? Gaming, Battlefield 4 etc. Also video/photo editing. So processing power & memory are important.

    3. Do you need a copy of Windows? No

    4. Can you use any parts from an old computer? Yea, I have two SSD drives, 8Gb of 1600 ram, 500W PSU and I can potentially use the heat sync. Not 100% on that though.

    5. Do you need a monitor? No

    5b. If no, what resolution is your current monitor and do you plan to upgrade in the near future? 1280x1024 not upgrading anytime soon.

    6. Do you need any of these peripherals? Nope.

    7. Are you willing to try overclocking? Yea but rather not.

    8. How can you pay? Credit card, paypal, bank transfer.

    9. When are you purchasing? No date set yet.

    10. If you need help building it, where are you based? I can build this baby myself.
