[cmagee511]

Hi I am looking to build a gaming pc and I was just wonder If I could get and over view on this build I have put together. I not an expert on doing this so I would like some help.

Not too bad. Assuming that is your budget, that appears to be pretty solid all the way around.

Let me see how many of [thread=80121]the questions[/thread] I can fill in for you:

1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing.
Gaming. Anything else?
2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread
£500-ish?
3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts from.
UK
4. IF you're buying parts OUTSIDE the US, please post a link to the vendor you'll be buying from.
We can't be expected to scour the internet on your behalf, chasing down deals in your specific country... Again, help us, help YOU.

5. IF YOU have a brand preference. That means, are you an Intel-Fanboy, AMD-Fanboy, ATI-Fanboy, nVidia-Fanboy, Seagate-Fanboy, WD-Fanboy, etc.
???
6. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are.
None???
7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system at default speeds.
Default speeds???
8. What resolution, not monitor size, will you be using?
???
9. WHEN do you plan to build it?
Note that it is usually not cost or time effective to choose your build more than a month before you actually plan to be using it.
???
X. Do you need to purchase any software to go with the system, such as Windows or Blu Ray playback software?
No???

If you're not doing anything but gaming on this, I'd drop the SSD. Then you have more money for a better PSU, GPU, and CPU.

A SSD works very well with games, even if gaming would be the only thing you will do on it (which I doubt), it would still be a good idea to get one imo.

Moving on, the G.Skill Ripjaws are excellent and the 270X is also a better choice than the 750Ti, though you might want to look into the differences between all the different brands.

Doing other stuff makes an SSD very appealing. You can easily add an SSD to my build for under £550 total.

What games are you playing? It might be worthwhile to step up the video card another notch and bring the build closer to £600.

Given a budget that can stretch closer to £600, I'd take Ken's build and add a Crucial M500 120GB for £53.

The game I mostly play is league of legends but I would like to try playing call of duty etc. Thanks for the help

 

[cmagee511]

The parts I posted before was a bit over my budget as I needed to add a monitor etc into my build so I came up with parts and I would just like some opinions on them if I should change anything etc.

(my budget is around £600/£650)

That list looks pretty good to me. I did spot this Corsair memory kit that'll save you a few quid.
