Gaming PC

[Arcapse]

1. Budget & Location
I'm going with a £800GBP, I unfortunately cannot go to much over this but I won't mind if it's just over.

2. Aim
I'm going to be using this PC for mainly gaming, probably more AAA titles like Far Cry 3, Crysis 3 and Battlefield 4. I'm also going to be doing light coding and a decent amount of web browsing.

3. Monitors
I currently use a single, 1080p monitor, however I plan on getting a second 1080p monitor after getting a new graphics card.

4. Peripherals

I'd like to have some crappy keyboard and crappy mouse. I'd also like Windows 8 included in the £800GBP budget.

5. Why am I upgrading?
I currently use a family PC with things like an Intel Duo 6320, GTX 210 and some really outdated stuff. I think I got it in 2006 or some shit.

I am from america so GBP is not normal for me to use. I think it translates to about $1200 USD so here you go
