Heya peeps

I have a £1200'ish Budget, my current spec is at the bottom of the post. Looking to get a complete new setup. my current mouse and KeyB are very basic, and im running a 32'' HDTV as my monitor. max resolution is only 1280x768. So would deffo want a nice monitor, and a gaming mouse, with a robust keyboard. I have basic knowledge. but dont want overkill or wasted components.

Any advice is appreciated.

the coolermaster 311 is not a gaming case (limited cooling), i5-4690 would be fine for gaming as well as 8gb ram. the v300 SSD suffers from performance issues so i would suggest changing it and getting a caviar black as the secondary drive. I would also get at least the triple copper heatpipe cpu cooler.
