Hii

im new to pc gaming and want to build my first proper pc. Now here is the problem as i am a noobie in the pc gaming world i dont have a clue what i should buy. Im on a budget of £450 I know its not alot but this budget can be stretched within reason. The challenge for you is to suggest a build within that price range. I will be greatful to everybody who helps me on my way to becoming part of the superior race of gamers

Im from the UK and would only like to use the pc for gaming.

it does oc 4.5 +/- with stock cooler, but ofc you can buy a £10-15 if he can afford.

This is a better build than the one above (with the G3258) in ANY workload that uses more than 2 threads (Which is most of the workloads)

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861
