1. What is your budget? €450/€500

2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? Mostly gaming with some software develpoment as well

3. Do you need a copy of Windows? No

4. Can you use any parts from an old computer? Not from an old computer but I do have a video card (RadeonHD 7870) I will be using

5. Do you need a monitor? No

5b. If no, what resolution is your current monitor and do you plan to upgrade in the near future? 1920x1080. No

6. Do you need any of these peripherals? Yes, I need Keyboard/Mouse/Wireless Card/Speakers

7. Are you willing to try overclocking? Maybe

8. How can you pay? Visa

9. When are you purchasing? In the next 2-3 weeks

Memory wise I don't need a whole lot. I would like 1tb but would settle for 750gb or even 500gb if it meant better performance.

I'd also like a few usb 3's on the case if possible.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Okay so I've had a look around and am thinking of upping my budget.

I was also wondering about whether it would be possible to get a processor like the fx 8320 into my build rather than the fx6300? or do I have enough in my budget to get as much out of the 8320 as I would the 6300? Again any help is appreciated

You won't get any performance boost using an 8320 over a 6300 in gaming. Most games are still using 2-4 cpu cores. Next gen consoles will use 6 for games so having 8 is wasted in most cases. A 6300 will perform identically. An 8320 would require a better board, cpu cooler and power supply to get the most out of as well.

Anywho how does this look?

Thanks BloodBath! Good to know about the cpu's.

That build looks class! I just have one question about it. If I wasn't going to overclock, would I need the cooler fan?

Thanks again!

No bother.

No you wouldn't. One comes with the cpu anyway. It wouldn't be the quietest though. There are better cooler and board options for overclocking but I went with basic ones for a small overclock. You would be crazy not to overclock that cpu to at least 4.2 - 4.5ghz.

It would be very easy to do and totally safe for a nice performance boost in cpu limited games.

Sweet, I wasn't originally really planning on overclocking, mostly because I wasn't sure of what parts would be best for it.

But I really like this build and think it might just be the push I need to try it out.

Thanks again BloodBath, you're a lifesaver.
