Need help purchasing gaming computer for £500

[roadman]

Hi guys so my laptop I use to game is finally dying on me and Im now after a good gaming rig. My budget is £500 but i dont mind paying an extra £20-£50 if need be. I'm looking to mostly game on this build and hope to find a build that I can run games like World of Warcraft on high and be able to run Dayz etc comfortably.

If anyone could help me with some sites to use also as I have basic knowledge with building and buying parts etc.
(I don't need an operating system)

Also a friend of mine linked me this - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/titan-dagger-overclocked-gaming-pc-intel-g3258-anniversary-edition-4.2ghz-fs-080-og.html#t=aVg0 Is it any good?

For World of Warcraft you definitely want to go Intel and Nvidia, as they run it best.

Since Dayz can be pretty CPU intensive I'm opting for an i5 + GTX 950 over an i3 + GTX 960. A GTX 950 will also max out WoW at 1080p without any problem. Also starting with the i5 will be a lot easier if you decide you want to do some upgrades a few years later.

The 950 will not max out WoW, now. It will comfortably handle a 7 out of 10, on quality, though raid and world boss encounters will probably need a bit lower settings. Legion added 3 new graphics performance settings, so 7 is what ultra used to be for WoD. I do agree with timeconsumer's build though. For the money, that is a good balance, for what you want to play.

I bought a £500 rig from a website called www.CCLOnline.com, It runs basically anything with the mid-tier GTX 750ti.
However they stopped making that pre-built system, there are a few left though if you look on the website in and below/above your price range.

This is a little more expensive, but It's another one I considered when buying mine. http://www.fiercepc.co.uk/blackfire-phantom
