Advice on gaming PC please

Thanks for the help so far.

Ds has had a rethink and has now come up with the following :-
( I have no idea of what's good, necessary or compatable..I am trying to read up so that I can make a judgement ... but I am failing hopelessly! Hence the appeal for more help. I have joined the 2 other forums that have been suggested but I have locked myself out, of both, and waiting for admin to respond!)

Personally I'd ditch the wireless and go with a proper cable, especially for gaming, though I realise that's not always feasible.

Also, as per my previous post, I'd avoid that Samsung drive as it uses low endurance TLC memory that will wear out a lot faster than drives using MLC or SLC. Go for the 840 Pro if you insist on getting a Samsung.

Look at novatech.co.uk/barebonebundles

That gives you the base to start on and start adding the quality individual components. I put together a solid machine for half the price of one from PC World.
