Need help with Gaming PC!

[Matt-I]

Looking to spend £600 on a Gaming PC.

Need everything from CPU to PSU to a case. Don't need keyboard/mouse.
Minimum 8GB Ram.

Looking to spend £150 on GPU, already got a CPU in mind , then £100 on Windows 10 if needed.

Found this Processor already:

Total Budget is around £600
Don't need a CPU unless you can recommend a better one
8GB RAM minimum


Thanks in advance c:

Sorry, just making sure I'm understanding.... 600 is your budget, including the OS (~100) and GPU?

If you want this rig to be upgradeable, you should really be looking at Intel rather than AMD. They will have new sockets soon, and some (most/all?) of their sockets are "dead". AM3, FM2, FM2+ won't be seeing any new chips.

That's not a knock on AMD, I have an Athlon 860k and I really like it. It does the job for me. Just somehting to be mindful of.

Are you looking for an ATX build? mATX? Mini-ITX?

Not the best GPU, but it's workable for a while, and gives you a solid CPU foundation, on the latest platform.
