I've been looking around now for a few weeks, but the market is so confusing.
Money is not much of an object; well, let's say 5k GBP max.

Should I get one purpose-built? Or a new year bargain?

My gut feeling says 16GB RAM (DDR7); 500GB SSD with 2TB spinner; good video card; i7
quad-core CPU.

Who knows better?

My old LGA 1366, 970, burned up due to over-clocking and I assembled this one
six months ago. The new one barely gets warm.
Currently Overclocked to 4.3 mhz.
Win 7 Pro. It will do everything that you want.
Total cost including monitor about $2,000.

Reminds me of the custom rugs Maxximum PC used to feature. Did you glitz up the box?


Oh yes! It has pretty colored lights and stickers all over it.
Having the lights blink or pulsate to music was a bit too much though and I turned that
function off.
