    Desktop PC - what specs?

    Hi all

    As the Subject suggests I'm now looking into buying a new desktop pc. I miss games... Plus, I now live in Manchester and therefore so close to Scan HQ so I can easily come in and discuss/purchase a build.

    I'm looking for processor, motherboard suggestions. I would probably get a GTX 660 Ti Graphics Card as that can power three screens as well as play most games in FULL HD. I have a 240Gb SSD in my laptop I will take out so I won't need a Hard Drive in the system. Again cutting costs. My brother has a Sabertooth Motherboard so I'm guessing that's probably a good choice (yes/no)?

    What I am a little stuck on is what CPU. It will be definitely an i5/i7 but which one? i5 2500k? I'm looking for cost verses performance.

    Suggestions please.

    Thanks

    Mark
