PC configuration help?

[Waderz]

Hello,

Im currently trying to build a cheap PC with good specs. Would like some input on this. We have around £400 to play with and dont need to worry about an SSD or a GPU.

Currently I have selected the following:

AMD FX-6300 - £80.25
Corsair H55 - £49.99
Gigabyte GA-970A UD3p - £64.82
Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 @ 1600 - £32.99
Segate Barracuda 2TB - £54.98
Corsair 200R Case - £49.99
Corsair CX500M - £49.98

Total Price £383.00

I have a spare brand new SSD that can be used for OS and also a GTX 760 as I will be upgrading from this.

Just wanted some opinions on the design, and if you think there are any alternatives that I could use?

Thanks

Intel i3 cpu (can use stock heatsink)
Get a different power supply. That one is garbage

The i3 only has dual core, and the stock heatsink would not be sufficient for overclocking.

I3 can't be overclocked and performs better than the fx 6300

DO NOT GET A 5 YEAR OLD CPU.
That was a warning, go for intel H110 and an i3 with stock heatsink.
You can't overclock intel on a low budget, but in games the i3 is better than any AMD CPU.
