Getting back into PC gaming, £2k budget, advice?

Once, my main PC is back up and running and configged again (Currently installing because the OS the SSD drive wouldn't boot) will show a screenshot.

Oh, yes am sure it's caching it, but it's annoying that it uses so much.

Thing is, unused RAM is wasted RAM. Disabling the caching of software in RAM wouldn't benefit your PC in any way. Ideally Windows would fill however much RAM you had, even if it was 64GB or whatever.

You can turn it off if it annoys you.

Excellent choice. Something like what I am looking at in my new build however I was thinking about the Akasa VenomToxic Case since it looks quite sturdy and cheap. Would also prefer the Samsung SSD however this is my personal option.

What cooler would you recommend for the 3570K.

It pains me inside to see an Alienware PC when I pressed this thread. I'm sure 90% of this forum-base will agree on one thing - build your own PC. You save soooo much money in the long run - you can build an epic PC that can handle pretty much every game you throw at it for at least half of your budget in that instance - plus you get the experience and satisfaction of building your own machine which means you know and relate to it better and can help others out when they come to building theirs (i.e. you can offer advice as to which components to go for). Building is definately the way to go my friend

Get a 27 inch iMac, 1699 it will play all the games etc no bothers run it in boot camp and you have a perfectly good pc with the facility to use it as a mac also.

In future you could get a pc and plug it in as target monitor mode that's what I do.
