This will take some time for people to make a build for you.

[connorW]

Okay, this is the best I could do. Notice though, that you'd usually be much better off with a smaller CPU and a faster video card. If you wanted to go with something like that, you'd have to get a Windows 10 key from Kinguin or G2A.

This should serve you well, you can get windows 10 keys cheap just look Ebay, reddit…. I s the i5 4690k overboard? You don't need optical drive either.

That's not a good PSU check this: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/406160-psu-ranking-and-tiers/

 

And you are spending a lot on the CPU and very little on the GPU, that's not balanced. Get a i3 6100 and a better GOU.

 

[Matty2hatty]

Also add in the hyper 212 evo or the cryorig h7 if you want to OC, if not just go with i5 4690...

[tataklee]

Okay, but going with a i5-4690k and not include a Z97 board is kinda pointless.

Same as the one above, and why a k processor with a H81M board? 

[Matty2hatty]

Realisticly why would you even try to OC a 4690k on a £500 budget?

Exactly! You will get a unbalanced system like that. I will cook up a build soon.

Look, I'm just trying to make a build that includes his beloved CPU. I even specifically told him that a build like that doesn't make much sense. But I'm guessing (wildly so) that he is one of those CS:GO youngsters that want those i5s and i7s to hit stable 300 fps on low resolutions.

[Matty2hatty]

He would be better off with an i5 6400 build for futeureproofness( I just mashed that word)

Calm down, he could just not have the knowledge.

[Castdeath97]

Here you go, this a decent balanced build there is no need for a i5 at this budget, especially a haswell one. Get a Skylake i5 so you can game well now and if you need to upgarde no problem the i5 won't bottleneck anything!

 

If this is off budget get a 950

[Matty2hatty]

Slightly more in budget than Cast's build but there is a better PSU in his, go with his if you have the money….
