Advice on first-time build :)
Hey guys
 I'm looking to build a gaming pc, but I'm a complete novice (willing to learn). I have a PS3 for shooters, so am leaning more towards MMOs and RTS games -if that makes any difference. I want to make sure the computer slows down as little as possible when I'm running maybe a game on high-ish settings with a couple of tabs open on Chrome. I live in the UK, but I figured the budget would be around $750-850. My only other requirements are HDMi output (only to a 1080p TV), HDMi or other high level audio output (5.1) and power and cooling systems good enough for me not to have to worry about it dying on me. I also need a good wireless mouse and keyboard combo - I'm sitting on a sofa about 3 metres away so I can't have it disconnecting on me. I'll need advice on any minor components as well (eg: leads, static wrist-straps, tools, etc). 3D support is optional (if not too expensive) - but I'm not too sure if it works the same way with a stereoscopic TV as with a monitor. I'd be really grateful if you could help me out!  Ta, Dan |

Ok, well my budget is £700, which needs to include all of the above (with Wndows 7, 500Gb HDD and a writeable DVD drive). I'd also like Norton anti-virus, which should be around a tenner. I also don't want to spend any more than £40 on the case - not bothered about lights, etc - just want it to look tidy and cool well.
Thanks!

Why do you want Norton? Microsoft Security Essentials is free and does the job fine.
