For 7 euro more I would go with this PSU because it is gold rated and will save a few quid on the electricity bill .

Looks good. Probably spending a bit much on the psu and case considering the budget though. I'd go for the 8320 over the 6350 as well and grab a decent cooler like the 212 evo to overclock it.

This psu should do the trick, silver rated as well.

I would actually go with your suggestion .

Save some money and get a 200R instead of a 300R. Pretty much the same basic case

Appreciate the suggestions guys. Do not know anything about PSU, but will defo go with the link, same goes with the case. No experience with over clocking as this would be my first but will check out the fan as well.

One more thing, the amd cpu is it good cpu for this build, coz i was going to go with a intel i5 one but cant budget wise.

Thanks all

When you are gaming it's mostly down to the gpu . The CPUs don't really matter a lot . In some games you might get a few extra fps but on the whole go for an amd CPU and spend more on the gpu . Especially if you only have a budget of 700 .

Ah it's no problem at all just want to make sure you get a rig you are happy with . I'm on my phone and it's hateful to link videos but I remember Linus tech tips on YouTube did a a video to explain with I'm talking about with high end CPUs and gpu's and gaming performance was nearly the same . For your budget you haw gone with a perfect gpu and should provide so great gaming performance .

If you're willing to overclock the amd fx line up are great performers for the money. Mainly the 6300 and 8320.

Once again thanks for the tips! Just thought will this build run medium settings.

BloodBath

Yes you should be able to run most games on high to max settings especially with a little overclocking.
