Hi guys, I am looking to built a gaming pc.
I never built a PC but I think the most important think for me is the graphics memory and CPU.
Please help me because I was stupid to buy a Play station 4 and now i am not using it to much, I need a PC.

Olegs suggestion is good, but around £550, you can get a GTX 970 videocard with much better performance.
You´d be able to play almost all games in high/ultra settings with below setup.
Note: not included windows and periphirals.

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor (£143.98 @ Novatech)
Motherboard: MSI H81M-P33 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard (£31.49 @ Ebuyer)
Memory:...
If you are willing to spend 100+ more euros then sure.

i5-6400 is a very good processor based on the new Skylake architecture that supports new technologies such as USB 3.1, DDR4 etc. it will also open an upgrade path if you ever want to go i7.

yes that would be the easiest way, you just click on the link, then pick the top option (cheapest price) and it will redirect you to the website where you can buy the component at the proper price.

GTX 970 is a massively good videocard

It´s compatible already. The chassis has a front intake fan and a rear exhaust fan, which should be plenty of cooling.
You may buy a Coolermaster Hyper Evo 212 cpu cooler if you want as well (around $20-25) - it will make the rig a bit more silent as well as a bit cooler, but not necessary.
