I would personally recommend a FX 6300. They are hexa-cores, and overclock like crazy if you've got a Cooler Master TX3 or 212 on there. Get an MSI Gaming edition R9 270 or 270x, 8 GB of any RAM, and you could get an SSD and a HDD. Even get a good colour scheme. Plus, if you're will to fill up that £700, you could get R9 280 by MSI. I really like MSI.

Wouldn't the AMD FX-8320 be a lot better? The FX-6300 is getting quite old.

 

[Scizor119]

Yeah, it's old, but it makes it cheaper. He only wants it for mainly gaming as well, so he could have been done with an FX 4300, but £10 more? I guess even an 8320 is only £25 for, but you can OC it with an Enermax Cooler, or a Cooler Master one.
