    Hows it going guys been a while aye?

    Anyway just wanted to pick your brains on this Gaming PC Build.

    Im currently budgeted at £600 and this is what i got so far:

    CPU - AMD Vishera FX-6300 6-Core Processor

    Motherboard - ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0

    GPU - MSI Radeon R9 280X TwinFrozr IV

    RAM - G.SKILL 8GB (2x4GB) Ripjaws X Series DDR3 1600

    PSU - Seasonic S12 II Bronze 620W 80Plus Power Supply

    HDD - Western Digital Caviar WD10EZEX 1 TB SATA Hard Drive Blue.

    including the dvd drive and case this totals out at around £520 which leaves a bit spare im looking to add a Wireless adaptor also.

    any suggestions to add to this whilst remaining under £600?

    Thanks all. :)

    For the most part yea unless your a hardcore pc gamer or you do a lot of video editing but the setup you have now should be enough until you decide to upgrade later

    I suggest looking into an Fatality ASRock B85 Killer Motherboard, it's very good and I'm using it. It's also fairly cheap so give it a look!

    But you don't want something that won't last nor do good performance, I mean.. It's your motherboard, it's quite an important part of your PC ;)

    I recommend always throwing in an SSD, only because while your RAM, Processor, and such are important, your SSD or HD does make an impact on how smooth your PC can function, which in turn allows it to function better gaming. You don't need a large one per say, unless you plan on using it for gaming like myself, I have my OS, and all my games installed on my SSD, and I use my 3 TB for storage.

    Yeah, SSD's are good to install your programs / windows on, leaving your HDD for gaming only. if you've got spare, I suggest a 120GB for your starting SSD. If you're wanting a good model. Try Kingston ;)
