Hi guys, I wanna build a gaming pc for $550-$600, I am strict in budget and I would mostly be gaming on it ! I want it to be a pretty good rig cause I would be keeping it without upgrading it for the next 2 years. Things I would do in this build:- PLUS I already decided on a case http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-case-spec01redled
GAMING = Watch Dogs, BF4, Far Cry 4, Grid 3, Bioshock Infinite, Crysis 3, The crew, AC Untiy, Call of duty Ghosts and the new next gen games!

OTHER TASKS = I would also be doing 3-7 minutes video rendering, not too heavy as well as adobe after effects and photoshop, not too heavy..

WEB BROWSING/STREAMING VIDEOS = I would definitely be doing web surfing/browsing and I would also be streaming and watching videos in it, on browser I usually have 5 tabs open at a time.

CROSSFIRE/SLI = In the future maybe after 2 years I will crossfire/sli my GPUs to give me better performance in games !.

OVERCLOCKING = maybe after a year I will overclock the parts a little, but for now NO NEED TO ADD AFTERMARKET COOLER !

FPS = It would be really cool if I get FPS above 40 on high-Ultra settings on 1080p.
STORAGE = I would need around 200 - 300 gb storage, no need for 1tb or 2tb storage .

OS = I already have a copy of Windows 8.1 64bit, so no need to add it in the build
KEYBOARD & MICE = I also already have keyboard and mice.

WIFI = I also have a wifi device for PC.

DISPLAY/MONITOR = I already have a monitor.

CASES = I will get this case Corsair spec-01 red : http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-case-spec01redled

I would need a DVD/CD drive too.
Thanks alot, you guys are great !

Fits all your needs on a good budget, the initial price will be like $570, but you'll get some back from rebates.

for the graphics card you should go with a gtx 750 ti. as you want to overclock it you shoul buy the gtx 750 ti oc version. and for the cpu i would recomend going for an amd one. go with the fx 6300 or 6350. both suit your budget and have 6 cores. the cpu will not bottleneck your gpu and with 750 ti 2 gb ddr5 oc version you can get 40+fps in many games on ultra or high

The budget is £ 400 pounds to be exact so plz reccomend me parts from the uk sites like uk.pcpartpicker.com, sorry my bad
 




The 750 Ti is really only good due to the power usage, you can get the same speed in a Radeon R7 260X if you have a gaming grade power supply for less money.
