ionius' is good. but if money is tight, and assuming you have to pay your own bills, the amd chip is very ineffecient. spending a little more for a decent intel chip will probably get you better performance and cost less in the long run.

if you ever have any troubleshooting to do and need to restart your pc many times, an ssd is a god send.

theres a massive difference. everything loads atleast 100% faster, usually probably about 300% faster, and you can load many things at once. my m4 will load win 7 in precisely half of one windows 7 loading animation cycle, with a 2500k at 4.5. to go back to 7200 would be an intolerable downgrade.

So currently my PC is utter garbage and can barely run a screenshot of a potato. i was hoping to get a new PC next month and this is one ive been looking at:

i was planning on adding a 560ti instead of the 550 and also getting a razer keyboard and mouse. this will end up running me about £650. does anyone in the uk know of anywhere cheaper? or know of anything that can help me out with all this. i havent got a clue what im doing and i dont want to get ripped off. CCL has similar prices but doesnt come with an OS which sucks.

So yeah any help would be greatly appreciated. people have suggested i build one but i havent got the faintest idea of where to start with that so i gues its out of the question.

not usually very serious unless it happens repetatively.

did you switch to ahci in bios aswell as set primary boot drive as the ssd? i dont undertand why you "got everything set up on the hdd", and didnt just install windows straight to the ssd.

Should have gone Alienware. Wouldn't have had any problems.

SOUND-CARD

always have to say it on here. dont know why, you spend $240 on a mobo, $9 on thermal compound, another $130 on speakers, but think that great sound is going to come from free, onboard bullsh..

also, 2.1 speakers are totally worthless. youll see 2 minutes into playing an fps game. anything other than 5.1 or 7.1 will give you false signals, you dont want something behind you being sounded by a speaker infront of you. you will be at a massive disadvantage in fps games. you will actually be led away from targets by your sound. i will rape you with my £500 pc because i can hear where you are. onboard sound just isnt good enough to do that, even with the best speakers and headphones. you need good headphones or 5.1/7.1 speakers AND a good sound card, to genuinely stand a chance.

dont know about you but i wouldnt bother spending all that excess money to get the very best, as you have done, and still leave myself a huge disadvantage by ignoring sound.

also, case??
