can anyone recommend a list of parts i should buy (and preferably were to buy them from) to get a good gaming PC for under £1000?
if it helps some the games im looking to play are modded versions of fallout/skyrim, battlefield 3, shogun total war/fall of the samurai, starcraft 2
as im inexperienced with PC's a build that is "noob friendly" and unlikely to break, crash or have any similar issues would be good as well as being easy to fix if something does go wrong.
also if anyone has any tips on how to put a PC together i would be grateful
/edit i forgot to mention that this budget has to include a key board, monitor (maybe even 2), and mouse

i found it from here (http://www.cclonline.com/page/customise/CCL-EL-EAG/) for £871 what do you think of it and how would you improve it?
You know what? As you're inexperienced with PCs I'll go against what most will say and tell you to buy one pre-built. From where depends on your location, however. I'd happily make some recommendations if I can.
The reason I say don't build your own is purely down to your very newbie status. It will be harder for you to correctly diagnose issues and you won't get maximum enjoyment out of the project, especially if you're more interested in the gaming side of things rather than the technical/hardware enthusiast niche.

Not PC World or Currys etc...
My advice would be to try a computer fair or some other event like that, there are usually people there who will build to your specifications.
Alternatively I would suggest building it your self as you originally planed. It's really not that hard to do at all, just take things step by step and you will see how easily it all slots into place. Also you get the satisfaction of making something that is unique to you.
If you are worried about not having the technical experience to build then that's not really a problem. If you get stuck then you can always ask here for help, there will always be someone who will be happy to get you pointed in the right direction. Any problem you face and overcome during your build will give you experience and knowledge, something you wont get if you get someone else to build for you.
In the end the choice is yours and I wish you luck with whichever one you choose.

You're not very far from CCL who have a great reputation. They'll custom build a machine for you pretty cheaply.
As for components, the image above is pretty sensible, but as a simpler list -
Asus P8 Z68 motherboard Intel i5 2500k CPU 8Gb 1600mhz RAM (brand and other details largely unimportant but Corsair and Kingston have good reputations) MSi Twin Frozr GTX 560Ti graphics card Corsair HX650w power supply 500Gb hard disc drive (prices are crazy at the moment, just get something cheap) Any DVD RW, doesn't matter which Fractal Design Arc Midi case (my personal choice, go for whatever you like the look of)
I won't go into monitors cause it's much less clear cut, but I know one of the Dell ones has a great reputation.
1000 quid should easily be enough to buy a solid gaming rig, especially if you're keeping your current monitor.
Lol, I'm an extremist on that list, bordering on the insane.
Monitors are ridiculously expensive, I'm about to buy three from Dell,
That list is a great list, and it's very useful. BUT. For someone describing themselves as very inexperienced with computer building and wants something easy to use/maintain, that list is a load of wank. It won't help at all, and the guy who said buy a pre-built system is more helpful in this case.
Newegg.com is where I buy most of my computer parts, amazon also has a decent amount of parts but newegg has daily deals on ram and tends to have deals if you combine cpus with motherboards, lets see what I could put together for you on there.
Are you going to have any parts already? like a monitor or mouse or keyboard?
edit: actually it might be best to get a pre-built system and then upgrade it as you see fit down the line, probably the best way to do this is find a local computer shop, there should be one around, they are all over. This way you get some experience with the basics and you don't just start at full speed, I've build a good number of machines and I still get nervous when I'm inserting and locking a cpu. Another benefit of a pre-built machine is that the os comes with it and it is much cheaper then buying a new os on your own.

Apologies for the delay, been a busy day. If you want a fairly powerful PC a good entry point would be this for £775. The company is quite highly regarded and a friend of mine has been a happy customer for years, plus you can get that slightly custom aspect you're after without the hassle plus decent support. I wouldn't change the default configuration too much but add the freebies such as the mouse, and if you like make some savings by ditching the slightly gimmicky water cooling for air, etc. It's fine as-is though. You haven't said if you need a monitor or not? You can add them there if required and still be under your £1k budget or you can do what I and many others do; just connect it straight to an existing HDTV via HDMI.
If you want to save more money, this for £500 is a pretty good buy and will play games at 1080p. It should be fine for a while and it's a good base for tweaking in the future (if you wish to dabble), just replacing the graphics card for example. If you don't mind getting your hands dirty later, it is worth considering.
Hope that helps for now, this post contains some pretty sound advice too.

Seconded, the driver and firmware issues can be killers to diagnose and resolve, especially if you get leading-edge stuff. That's where you end up being one of the first to run into a bug, meaning there's no support or even information on it. Back when I was still building, I fell back to building "6 months behind the curve" just so that I could get parts that had already had their bugs found and patched. I never bought "the newest" unless it was a new version of something that had already been out (like the second-generation Penryns - they went to 45nm from 65, which was a great update, and the Penryn design was already tested).
Made life a whole lot easier, not to mention the machines were 90% as powerful as a cutting edge one for a little over half the money ;)
What, on ultra with DX11 enabled? Better call the NASA and ask for one of their computers.
Also, if you buy an Nvidia card make sure your fire alarm is functional.
(Seriously though, one piece of advice: buy a proper cooler. Dont go with that stock CPU cooler shit they give you. They are loud as fuck and do virtually nothing to keep your CPU at a decent temperature.)

Do you have or would consider buying an LCD tv instead of a monitor? I bought an LED LCD TV from Craigslist for about half price, put my comp on my TV stand, and have been both working and gaming like a console owner ever since.
I actually just sold my 25.5" monitor because I'm never going back to sitting long hours at a computer desk with my face pushed into a monitor when I can sit back on the couch with a lap board (http://www.amazon.com/Lap-Board-Natural-16-30/dp/B0000V075C) instead.
As a first time builder, if you can buy the motherboard pre-fitted with CPU and cooler that makes the process much simpler.
Where I live we have plenty of computer stores that will build to specifications, so I have stopped home building. My own attempts always ended up being too noisy and ineffecient compared to professional work.

Oh go away fan boy. Shit like this is why people struggle to get into building their own PCs. There is literally no reason to buy any AMD chip when building from scratch right now. It's as simple as two options, 2500k, or if you can't afford that an i3 2100. It may be dual core but it beats out most AMD chips and gives you an upgrade path to Ivy Bridge.
number2301: It may be dual core but it beats out most AMD chips
....Wat?
Fair enough, hes not on a tight budget, but what?
Starting to think we have the roles mixed up.
Not sure what you're questioning? I said Intel, you implied that any Intel chip was inappropriate.
Look here, the 2100 is in fact listed higher than any AMD chip and I've seen numerous group tests where the i3 presents a better proposition than anything AMD have to offer.
And even if you want to debate how good the i3 is, saying Intel chips as a whole are inappropriate is absolute nonsense.
number2301: And even if you want to debate how good the i3 is, saying Intel chips as a whole are inappropriate is absolute nonsense.
No its not. They all suck. Everyone knows that.
(Seriously though, as long as you dont buy the hectacore bullshit, you can generally get much much more bang for your buck with AMD. In truth none of the recent Intel and AMD CPUs are anything to write home about, so you might just as well go with the cheaper one, provided you have some cooling to back it up since AMDs stock coolers suck ass. I could link 5000 sites that test this shit here, but I wager you know a few yourself, so I dont have to waste my time.)
EDIT: The entry level CPUs, that is. If you do a lot of editing or rendering and need a really powerful CPU, of course Intel is better. AMD dropped the ball on the high end around a year ago.

The bang for buck argument barely holds up anymore, you can save what? £20-30 by buying into a years old, inferior, dead platform. As opposed to buying into Sandy Bridge / Ivy Bridge which may well last you through the next console generation (maybe).
And I'm no Intel fanboy, not by a long shot, I was pushing AMD back before they started naming their chips by their Intel equivalent performance. But I see no reason to get one at any price point right now.

I seriously doubt anything you buy right now will get you through the next console gen, or even begin to fulfill that criteria. On paper, yes, maybe, but I remember when the 360 came out people were saying the same thing. "There are already more powerful PCs out there now, so that should get you through this gen, right?" Needless to say, that never happened. You can play COD 4 on a PC from 2006 but thats about it - throw BC2 or any real time strategy game at it and the whole thing descends into a low res stuttery mess. On top of that the really high end Intel CPUs out there right now - the "next gen" stuff - are not only overpriced, but also fall short on the performance side of things. And lets not even get into the new AMD cores. Disastrous. So bad it almost killed them.
Anyhow, maybe you are getting different prices in the UK, because those 20-30 quid you mentioned are by no means true in mainland Europe. Here you can save closer to 60 Euros with AMD, money well invested in a better GPU, considering most games dont use more than 2 cores anyway. You can make an argument for longevity, but unless you have a really well paying job and dont mind dishing out ridiculous amounts of money for hardware, you are probably better off buying cheaper parts and upgrading again in 3-4 years.
All I'm going to add is make sure you get a high quality Power Supply, it isn't something you want to cheap out on. Also I'd suggest getting a modular power supply, having extra cables that just hang in the case reduces airflow. A modular power supply lets you only use the cables you need and ensures maximum airflow.
Also make sure you get a case with air filters, I cannot stress this enough. Filters will help your PC so much in the long run.

If by really high end Intel you mean Sandy Bridge E or similar I wouldn't even consider them for gaming, if you mean the i5s, in what way are they either overpriced or short on performance? The 2500k is amazing and only £170 with Ivy Bridge weeks away for an extra 10% or so performance. Bulldozer on the otherhand is awful, and that makes me sad, I suspect it will kill AMD over time, or at least take them completely out of the high end market.
Regarding prices, a lower end i5 is ~£140, an i3 is £90. A 960t is about £90 and performs worse than the i3 in many applications. Motherboards are much the same price whether you're looking at Intel or AMD.

Mmmh. I dunno man, I just want AMD to go back to concentrating on entry level and mid end stuff. The last few lines they brought out should have made it clear they cant keep up with Intel on the ultra high side of things.
So anyway, after reading those prices, two things. 1) You convinced me, maybe the OP would be better off with an intel and 2) I envy you for the low prices you have in Britain. I just checked the prices we pay in Germany for the same stuff and a single manly tear escaped my eye. EDIT: Funnily enough, the prices for AMD products seem to stay consistent while the Intel ones are much more expensive. Dont know what thats about, maybe Intel is ripping us Germans off.

You have my sympathy, and I shall try to remember people on the internet may not be from where I'm from ;)
power supply looks a little on the weak side; if I was you, i'd try and go for at least a 750W, if not 1000W. the price difference is fairly small (depending on where you go) and you are going to really kick yourself if you assemble your dream machine but it keeps shutting off because it has insufficient power.
I use a website called pc specialist. It's pretty good because you can choose what kind of budget you have and it will list all the affordable parts for you.
If you're worried about actually putting the computer together, you can usually go to a local computer shop and they can put it together for you. I did that last time and it only cost me an extra $75.
The computer I had priced was $1200, pre-built, and the parts separate were $700, exact same parts too. Needless to say I bought the parts to a PC Solutions/Radioshack (they shared a store). They even helped me with my initial compatibility issue. (I didn't look at my motherboard's manual, and the RAM I had wasn't compatible.)
AC10: I still just think solid state drives are an absolute waste of money.
I agree, if you're on any kind of budget. I picked up a 120-gigger on sale and rebuilt my system around it. Basically the only gain I saw over a modern 7200 RPM hard drive is that Crysis levels load ~50% faster and my boot time is cut in half. And boot time doesn't really count because I use sleep instead.
The same money would've gotten me a huge boost in GPU power.

thanks for the advice, i live in north yorkshire if that helps recommend were to buy one.
Have a small computer shop build one for you - tell them your price range and what you want to use it for (in this case, gaming). Never by pre-built.
I'd say the best way to get into building your own is buy one like that, and as time goes on and you find yourself wanting to replace individual components, you'll become more comfortable changing stuff about.
Then, if you decide to build a whole new machine for whatever reason, you should be able to do it then.
personally, i prefer AMD to Intel simply because of the price difference. while intel technically performs better, AMD chips are FAR cheaper and still perform very well. it's your choice though. i would ditch the solid-state drive, and invest in a second HDD (get yourself up to 1 TB storage). i have no opinion on graphic cards. mine is a ati 5790, but they change so often that the best you can do is read reviews. tomshardware is a great place to start. i'd boost up the power supply to 750W at least, and buy a QUALITY PSU, you do NOT want to cheap out on the power supply.
lastly, i would not buy a pre-built PC. build your own one time, and you'll be able to build them yourself from then on. you'll save yourself the hassle of ever having to purchase pre-built ever again
can anyone recommend a list of parts i should buy (and preferably were to buy them from) to get a good gaming PC for under £1000?
if it helps some the games im looking to play are modded versions of fallout/skyrim, battlefield 3, shogun total war/fall of the samurai, starcraft 2
