What I have currently is a heap of drom poopoo. I need to start from the ground up.
Nothing will be salvaged.

The PC will be awesome, but modest. It will run most/all games on high to ultra, and it will be possible to upgrade it (for teh future)
The trick is: buy the tried and tested, the stuff with the better drivers.
My general rule of thumb: never buy something that has just come out, usually hardware takes 1-2 months to bloom with drivers and compatibility anyway.

Might be like 850-900 if we have to worry about OS too, and it depends which OS

Here's what we can do:
Take this to another thread, or to PM.
We can work together to figure out different builds for different budgets, but overall, we can definitely get something for a 500-700, 700-900 range and a 900-1100 range.

Personally, I built a cracking machine 6 months ago and it came to around 900 incl. Monitor, Keyboard, SSD, HDD, OS, RAM, Case etc.
I cannot fault the thing, it handles everything I throw at it.
