System for gaming

[Biscuit Sensei]

I'm looking to build a pc specifically for gaming and would like a pc with the capability to play games like Battlefield 4 on decent settings with a budget of around £550, however windows 8.1 is essential to me so in any builds could you please include windows 8.1 as the os

Will you be OCing your CPU?

I don't intend to and I wouldn't know how to!

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/JBWzXL I didn't pick a case, because I think it would be better for you to, since you will be the one looking at it. I left 40 pounds unused for that.

This should get about 50 FPS average on BF4 1080p Ultra with no AA.

If you can wait 15min I will see if I can build a system with an AMD CPU, and better GPU since that might actually end up being better.

It's over budget, but not much 😛
