Building a gaming PCI'm going to try and build my first gaming PC, I've had a look at a few guides so far and it seems ok. The only problem is I know nothing about the hardware and whats the best to buy for a budget of about £600-£700 to get the most out of my money. OS doesn't have to be included in the budget as I have my own already. Can anyone recommend a build for me in that price range? Thanks.
