PC for gaming

Thanks Grimsbymatt

This PC is gaming only.

Our son mainly plays Steam games (Left for Dead 2, Team Fortess 2). He says on his laptop, he gets only 30 fps online,(and up to 60fps off line - does that make sense ?) He plans to buy

GTA.V so that will be more demanding.

Must have windows 7 home 64, must have wi fi, and don't want water cooled.

Graphics card 4GB Nvidea GEForce 970 has been recommended several times, so seems a good choice

Price is not the main issue here. I am expecting to pay £1000 or so for the PC (plus extra for monitor, gaming keyboard etc)

If anyone on here is willing to make up a suitable spec for me, I will be eternally grateful

I have merged your two threads together, please try to stick to one thread because then people don't ask/answer the same questions more than once :)

Thank you Keynes ! and to Rakk for merging my posts for me :)

Just one more question - is there a suitable case that is either just black, or is black and green (it looks like the one suggested is black and red)

FRACTAL DESIGN ARC MIDI R2 MID-TOWER CASE - this one isn't as tall as the Coolermaster HAF 912, would it OK, or is it too small ?

Thank you everyone who has helped.

I have ordered the PC today (and added rep to Keynes and Rakk for being so patient with my numerous posts and questions)
