Have created a budget build on PCPartPicker - http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/BMh9vK

Looking for any advice on whether I need to change any of the parts, was looking to come in under £350 if possible. Will be connected via HDMI to TV and also via DVI to PC Monitor depending on where I am.

Mostly playing MOBOs (LOL/Heroes of the Storm) and WOW, but may dabble in other games also.
 
Swapped to a cheaper ram stick and better psu:

Solution


Thanks Suztera, rest of the parts work sufficiently well together to run games listed etc?
 


Yes it should be ok
 

+1; This is a solid 350 quid build!
 
Ended up swapping the memory again as the one listed had jumped in price. Final build ordered:
