This build should be a lot faster.

 

Quad core Athlon vs 2 core pentium simply for compatibility with games that now lock out all CPUs below quad core (CoD AW)

50% more ram, Ghosts & Later locks out systems with less than 6 gigs.

50% more hard drive space, cheaper & why not?

 

R7-265 is a good bit faster than the 750Ti, and the same price, so why not?

Hey guys i need help build a gaming pc, this is my first time and i have spent time watching youtube on how to assemble them they only thing i am worried about if i am either spending too much on a componet in which i could dump the money back into the grapics card ect... My budget is £300 (Great Britsh Pound) and i live in the UK of course.

 When building this pc i dont care about any futureproofingness or anything like that, i just want to be able to run FPS on meduim to high settings. Eg Battlefield,Call Of duty and half life based games such as Garry's Mod and CsGo.

 

Currently i have only 1 monitor but will eventuall will be upgrading to 2 monitor setup and i would love it if they were at a 1080p res dont really care about 4k just want 1080p would be fine for me.
 

So yeah thats it guy's hope that i can get some good advice back would be greatly appreciated, i will attach the part's that i have chosen in a attachment so you guys can see what you think if i could either save some money or if there is a better product on the market, the total cost of the parts i have selcected is £291.49 so if you guys can save me some money would be greatly appecited! Thanks's once again guys.

Get a source 210 for the case instead. Get a penitum g3258 and a z87 board instead. You should be able to squeeze that stuff in for little more and get way more out of it.
