Buying High Spec Pc, With Dangerously Low Knowledge

[Commoncarp]

I have £1k, possibly £1.2k MAX, to spend on a PC. Will be playing games such as age of conan etc.
I hear Quad core is better or future proof? I have no clue? Want the PC to last 2/3 years.

Whats this about 64/32bit? Lol

Any suggestions??
