I've been looking around for ages now for a decent desktop gaming PC. But because I'm such a n00b :) I don't know what components would be best.

I want it to be able to run games like Metro 2033, at the moment, my laptop just about handles it and it has... AMD Phenom II N620 Dual-Core Processor 2.80 GHz and AMD M880G with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 and RAM is 4GB

So something like these for a Gaming PC?

http://3xs.scan.co.uk/ShowSystem.asp?SystemID=1383 , could try this . This is about as basic as I would go with a gaming rig . Don't forget to factor in the cost of a monitor , mouse , keyboard , speakers etc .
