Hello,

Ive just started picking up parts for a new build. Im trying to delve into the used market to save some money and try to build a rig that will last me, so future proofing would be ideal, but my budget is low (uni student). Need help filling the blanks as such. Note im looking to spend no more than about £400 in total, but alsothat i can look to buy used parts to save.

This is what i currently have bought:
Intel i7-4790K (new) - paid £142
WD Green 1TB 3.5" SATA - Paid £10
Sandisk PLUS 240GB SSD - Paid £40 (blackfriday deal)

If you guys could point me in the right direction for a motherboard, PSU and a graphics card that would be great, im pretty clueless when it comes to that. I have a Antec 300 case from my previous build that i can use if needs be.

Thanks,
Nik
