So, ive posted on here a lot asking people to help me build a solid budget gaming PC, but ive never actually gotten round to going through with the idea. So since its coming up to christmas, i am more than likely going to be building a PC for christmas. Thats where the community comes in to play.

Ive already found a case i like - Cooler Master K350. I would like the build to be based around this case.

The budget is £550 GBP (including OS, i already have monitors, keyboard etc.)

Thanks for you're help!

Piece of advice. Don't get an AMD Athlon 860K, especially without an aftermarket cooler. It's a REALLY bad bottleneck.

My advice as a newbie would be to just play around in PCPartspicker. See what you like, and research the individual items.

 

If not that, then just check out the builds on here already posted by other users. They are solid and they fit your budget
