Building my own gaming PC

[ilykPCs]

I am going to build my own PC soon, and I want to know the best quad core gaming processor i can get, for around £350-£385, or roughly $550 (not the exact conversion, because parts are cheaper in America) I want it to be the absolute best gaming PC for that price range, AMD or Intel, I am not bothered. Thanks

For gaming i5 4690k is one of the best cpu. If you want hyper threading pick i7 4790k

Or if you want the newest you can pick i5 6600k or i7 6700k but it needs LGA 1151

For that budget you cannot get an intel quad core (i5). Your best option is to go AMD (I'm thinking about FX 6300). I'll suggest you a build that is slighlty over your budget but It will give the maximum performance for the price.

P.S. You can fit the required budget by picking a a single 8gb DDR3 stick (about 5-10 pounds cheaper, but you will in run single channel instead of dual channel; you can always add more RAM later), a cheaper GPU ( I suggest a gtx 750 ti which you can find around 90 , altough the one suggested is best for the price). Later on you can add an SSD. For a slightly higher price on the CPU you can goo with an FX 8320 which will give better performance but I will take another motherboard for that (still cheaper than an i5 build).
