Finish off this £500 gaming PC build

[bwebo287]

Hi,

I am building a gaming PC for approximately £500 and need help finding the right parts and ensuring correct compatibility as I am fairly new on this stuff.

This is a parts list I have compiled together: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/3tnew

Notes to consider:
This is for high-end gaming and some multitasking.
A quiet and cool PC is quite important; not sure if stock fans will do the job.
My budget is around £500-£500 but a monitor and keyboard might take it later to about £600 in total.
The GPU in the parts list is the standard I'm looking at also.
Also, any bundles including an FX-6300 that's worth the money would be greatly welcomed.

Thanks in advance.

Depends on your budget.
Ebay is a hit and miss. I got my monitor through Ebay bidding and paid £110 including shipping for a £185 monitor(prices right now). It was used but was kept in mint condition. No scratches, no dead pixels. But there is no guarantee and warranty unless they offer it.

Also hope that your eBay deal does not go wrong and make sure you do not get a DOA item.
