Is this better: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/JndpVn

Hes refusing to change case not my problem

The OEM/Tray one is way more expensive then normal so change that xD http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/amd-cpu-fd6300wmhkbox

EDIT: and change the CPU cooler to something like Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

EDIT2: you can also save £10 if you get a single DIMM http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/crucial-memory-bls8g3d1609es2lx0

well all the builds above are good but case should be something op has to decide. I don't really recommend going cheap on a case

 

1- some cheaper case like the R4 looks good on some people and bad. if you like this case it's fine go with this.

2- case are something that last you quite a while. most of the reason people understand after some time when they are building a new rig is that their current case is crap. so they tend to buy another one.

3- pretty much cases are the only thing that's future proof unless you goofed off and buy some cheap barely expandable/ugly looking case. (although looks on case are different to different people).

 

case is not something to cheap at. even if you're on a budget try to get a decent chassis within the budget by decent I mean the one the buyer truly likes not because it's cheap enough to house the system.

Live your life like a dream.
