Well it has come to that time where i want to upgrade my junk computer to something a bit more smooth :D but i know nothing about computers.

My main usage of my computer is watching videos,playing wow & Call of duty, listening to music and downloading music (legally of course :D)

My main concern is that my computer will be able to play world of warcraft on ultra settings however I am aware that world of warcraft is not a very system demanding game however i would also like to play call of duty and battlefield games on on high settings if possible.

My budget is of a maximum of £750 however, i could possibly reach to £800.

At the moment I made this set up on the website but Like i said i am clueless so not sure if this will be suitable for me or not.

Hello & Welcome to the forums!

As this was your first post, it was sent into the moderation list.. hence why it seemed it was deleted - it wasn't :)

Anyway, the spec you have put together looks good but I have made a few changes to balance things out and make improvements;

- Downgrades CPU to X4 965 (very little performance difference but saves money)
- Upgraded RAM to 4GB
- Changed Graphics Card to the new GTX560Ti
- Upgraded HDD to the 1TB Caviar Black
- Upgraded PSU to Corsair TX650

Nope but id call up PCS to get them to 'walk you through' the proccess just to be safe

Theyre much more flexible when it comes to users upgrading than sellers like Dell who i believe will void your warranty for opening the case!!!
