What are some good PC components for under £500? I'm using the PC for mainly gaming but some school work. It's for my first build.

A whole build for under $500 pounds? Or just certain parts. If it's the latter, what parts?

One can save like a bit if you dont care about noise nor having a pain in the ass case to build in. And doesnt mind potensial cuts on sharp edges.

yeah i know all about the "pain in the ass case" lol!! i have a custom made tower made out of all black acrylic but man finding the right screw lengths for the rads was a pain,ill have to post pics of it,its pretty nice tho.

You can get a used RX 580/480 for 70$ if it was used for mining. But im sticking to new parts only. 

 

Also PCP has different country modes other than the US.

Redone build. Overclocks won't be possible unless you are willing to get a higher wattage PSU.
