Gaming/Work PC £700-£800

 

Hi Guys, I'm looking to buy a new pc, I've been using a laptops for the last 6 years, so I have no idea what is going on in the world of desktop computers and I was hoping that you guys can help me!

What I want to use it for:

  • Gaming - to be honest I might sometimes play shooters like Crysis 3 or Battlefield;maybe new SimCity and Minecraft ;) I don't need to run every game on full details with all the filters on, but I would like to be able to play new games in a year or two with medium graphics :)
  • Work - Programming: Java, .net etc and from time to time some playing with graphics and editing photos (photoshoop, maya as a hobby). 

What I would like it to have: 

  • a Graphic card working with two screens 
  • at least 8 GB of ram (maybe 16GB)
  • at least 4 USB ports (all 3.0 if possible, if not at least 2x 3.0)
  • SSD (only for OS and essential apps, so doesn't have to be big 120-160GB should do), 
  • HDD (1TB)
  • OS - win7 should do, not convinced to win 8 yet ;)

I'm not planing on overclocking it nor installing liquid cooling system - maybe in the future if it will be to laud.

I have one screen LM Flatron ips225, and I will buy another one in the future so it doesn't have to be included right now 

Cheap wireless keyboard and mouse should do - I don't need a gaming mouse or a keybord :) 

 

All I managed to came up with right now is:

Asus HD 7870 AMD Radeon DirectCU II GPU and AMD Fx 8350 or Intel 3570k - but that's just an option, I'm open to all suggestions :) 

 

Hope that's all the info you guys need.

Really appreciate your help!
