500GBP Gaming Build

[StevensUK]

Hi everyone.

Was just wondering if anyone could help me out? I'm looking for a Gaming PC + Monitor for £500, and was wondering if anyone could suggest what parts to use? Id like to play games such as arma, dayz, football manager (multiple league loaded) & battlefield in 1080p. I'd like to have a Dedicated GPU if possible too.

All the parts need to be from Amazon UK & sold by Amazon, not third party sellers.

Thanks!

I don't need an OS. Sorry forgot to put it in the post, with the money from the OS what would you upgrade?
