build help

[Bond120]

hi all,

I would like to see if this build is good enough for entry level gaming whilst being on a budget of £500 GB which roughly equates to $782.25 US

I'm not planning on overclocking in the near future and i will be running one display for now

thanks for any help given

Looks solid to me for 500GBP.

But you know that you are putting an mATX Board inside a mid atx tower, right?

It will fit, but will look a bit weird.

This is better. I5 is not 100% necessary, I3 is worth it for a better GPU.

Nice build for the price, A 750ti may get you a little bit more performance for about £10 extra, Even though it's still a nice solid build Have fun with it.

You could get an I5 4460 for 2 more.
