Budget Gaming Build

[patrickqui]

I am looking for a PC that can get 60fps in today's titles on high to ultra settings at 1080p. My budget is £525 and no more. I already have ram so please take that into account. The PC must also have a DVD drive for game installation.

This is significantly under budget. Certainly you can do better.

Minus the included RAM, it fits right in your price range. You'll still need case fans though.

this is the build I thought of http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/wZCRD3

 

[patrickqui]

I also thought about a different config for the build http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/BRwWHx

 

[patrickqui]

Please can I have a few more suggestions regarding my build. The budget is now up to €770 or £570 or $840. As you can tell the exchange rate it bad. Any suggestions will be looked at but I want the best bang for buck GPU I can afford
