In all honest mate, I advise you put in the time and research into what makes a PC run at optimal performance and probably go on to building one yourself, a lot of websites like cyberpower or pcspecialist (judging that you're living in the UK because you're using the pound sterling currency) will charge you high fees for shipping the parts and putting it all together. There's many videos on YouTube and many useful channels such as: newegg and maybe even Tech of tomorrow who specialize in this kind of thing. Spend your money wisely and I hope you get an amazing PC lad.

Wolfie if you want a standard gaming PC go on the internet and type in PC customiser eBay and look at then in my preference get a quad core 1TB hard drive and standard graphics which can run games with a high setting (most not all) then use that wait 3 years then buy a 1080 strix gaming graphics card and a Windows 10 MSI grenade Operating system for the standard stuff so mouse,keyboard,internet card, its £380 (did I mention get a USB 300MBS internet card from maplin I will send you a pic of my pc

Whats your current specs? It might be better to upgrade that or use some parts from it

I bought this from Tesco: http://www.tesco.com/direct/acer-pr...ics-500w-psu-black/240-2147.prd?source=others.
After a Couple of months I then Upgraded the Graphics Card to a Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080. As other have said have look around to see what is on offer and will it be powerful enough to run certain games.

Go Ahead and buy the new Macbook that just came out, youll look cool and be cool just by owning one. I have one; in order to play PERP just install windows through Bootcamp. No lag for me.

Build a PC, you will save money.

I would recommend the i7-6700K 4.0ghz, Nvidia Geforce 1060 with 6gb vram, 16gb ram, some good ol' MSI motherboard and a power supply to keep it all running. If you buy this, you're pretty much set for the next 2 years at least. Although technology sure advances fast, m8. And if you can't afford the 1060 just get the Nvidia Geforce 970 with 4 gb vram, it's good enough.

Squeez out £50 pound more if you can and go for this. Won't really ever need upgrading in the next 2 years and will run great! http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/q2Hrcc

Or just get one of these when your 16... Much more fun xD

Spoiler: :)

I tried to put something together. http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/86Ywqk
Of course, if you don't think it's necessary, you can change the 16GB RAM to 8GB instead, though I would keep 16 just 'cause.

You could also try to upgrade your current build if you want, and get a new motherboard, graphics card, CPU and RAM, in which case you could get the parts mentioned by @Xquality

i7-6700K 4.0ghz, Nvidia Geforce 1060 with 6gb vram, 16gb ram, some good ol' MSI motherboard and a power supply to keep it all running.

To be honest... You'd have to spend at least 900-1000 pounds to get a proper PC that will last you. If you buy an i5 processor you'll regret not having spent that extra 150~ on the i7-6700k in about one year from now.

Personally, my computer was built to last and has a lot of high spec components and ended up being very highly priced. But really you need to do your own research into what sort of PC you're looking for, what you need it to do and what hardware is best for what you need. Some time on Google and YouTube should do this for you, this is all I did and my PC build is ideal for me. You are going to be limited on some things with a £700 price tag though, so just keep that in mind. Good luck.

People will start having a go at me for this but I'm being pretty honest: spending all the hassle and time for a build-your-own computer will only save you 10-20£ at this price range. You really might as well buy a pre-built PC from a reliable source and just check if you could buy the parts individually for way cheaper. If it's only a couple of quid, just buy a pre-built one and you'll get a decent PC and a warranty. Let's say you drop a graphics card and it breaks: £200 down the drain and you're not getting it back. Whereas if you have a fault on a pre-built one, you can send it back and have it fixed.
