Computer recomendation ?

About a month back my computer broke and i have managed to live without it for a while, whilst trying to keep my eye out for another computer, however, i have absolutely no idea what spec procesor/graphics card i would need.
I would mainly use this computer for gaming (with a range of games from minecraft to more graphics heavy games like call of duty) and i would also need atleast 3 gb ram (i think ? :S) as i will also be rendering videos and such, and i dont want this to be as painful of experience as i am currently used to .
I know that the NVIDIA brand of graphics card are apparently quite good but i still am completely lost into which type i should get.
If you could please link me any good computers, or inform me on what i should be looking for, i will love you foreeverrr
thanks

If your looking to save 22 pounds, you could trash the CM hyper 212+ and just use the stock cooler, seeing that your not going to overclock anyways.

As the PC will be used for gaming mostly, I would suggest i3 2100 over the 965 BE. I would suggest these:
