    What's your budget?

    Please forgive the abundance of typos in post:-)

    Could possibly push it to about the 200_250 mark if I'm lucky

    200? An i5 4460 is €185 alone.

    500 is probably the bare minimum for a gaming PC.

    *edit* You've already got that stuff is it?

    Yes:-) sorry for not being clearer in post all these late nights are catching up on me lol
    I have purchased these items already and are in transit (I hope) from computer universe as we speak,just stuck on GPU and windows,I mainly play MMOs and such,thanks for reply,will add to steam if I can ever get it to play my games its holding to ransom on me or so it feels:-)

    No worries, I only half read the OP.

    A second hand R9 290 or a new 280X are the best jobs for that money, I'll post a windows link in a minute.

    Use isthereanydeal.com for sales for games!

    Windows

    Thanks again,was looking at 280 and 270x earlier,any brand better than the rest? Sapphire MSI etc

    Sapphire is probably the best for AMD cards, but MSI, ASUS, Gigabyte are all fine too
