Hey, I'm looking to build a budget gaming PC - around £550 excluding monitor, mouse, keyboard and headset, however I will need an OS. The main purpose is gaming, but I would like to be able to do some light multi-tasking. I live in the UK so bear in mind that parts are more expensive over here and there isn't as much choice...

 

If you could recommend a build that would be great.
