I've said this before and i shall say it again, build one yourself because then you'll know exactly what your putting in the machine and you also get the satisfaction of saying to yourself 'look what i've built'. Also you'll be able to save yourself a bit of money, just shop around and compare prices before you commit yourself to buying any parts.
I'm actually ordering all my stuff for my new PC at the end of the month, i'm just waiting for pay day!
If you don't know how to build computer check out this website it's pretty detailed and it's not to confusing http://www.pcmech.com/byopc/

thanks for the advice silent but i'm just not tech savvy enough to risk trying to build my own high end machine, i will no doubt end up spending more due to silly mistakes i will inevitably make along the way maybe i will build a little un in the future tho as a first time effort and will keep your advice in mind

You have to start somewhere and with the way PC's are designed today they go together as easy as a jigsaw puzzle and the only really technical thing about them is the bios and when it comes to installing your software.
Its a cross between Lego and Mecanno.
Hehe.
