Right so here's what I'm after. (This is for a friend and you lads are gurus)
I'm after a gaming build and also something good for being able to handle large total war games. I am only after the PC itself, they have requested this be a pre-built and/or a good build with a site that builds and doesn't mug you off for building the PC with parts. The games I'm looking to run are substantial total war games and high fps, high performance and graphics also. Budget: £1000 - £1500 Anyone suggesting Alienware just commit now and do us all a favour. Thanks cuties |

I would mostly recommend Scan 3XS for pre-builts.
My recommendation would be this: scan.co.uk/3xs/configurator/custo...xsgamer21i You should get him to change: CPU Cooler to a Silent be quiet! Pure Rock. Power Supply to a Corsair TX550M. Hard Disk Drive to the 2TB version instead. This will total £1508 which is worth the small amount over budget. Do bare in mind that you are paying a premium for this. Part-for-part, it will be about £250 more expensive to purchase it pre-built through Scan.

You would need to buy a copy of Windows yourself which you can typically find for less than £30.
