Hello, I am looking for help picking out pc parts. I live in the UK and I don't really have a budget but something under 600 pounds if possible lower. I am looking for an i5 quad core, a gpu preferably nvidia(at least 4gb), good cooling for the cpu(liquid??), a motherboard, a decent size hdd over 1tb,  and a case. I have 2x8 gb ram of corsair vengeance and a corsair rm650. Thanks guys.

This is probably best for money:

It's going to be hard to find something in your price range, especially with the GPU and not have bottlenecking, you would probably be better off saving up and also buying a i7 with the build.

My Main Build:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1700 @ 3.6Ghz,

RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengence LPX 2666MHz,

GPU: SAPPHIRE AMD HD7770 GHz Edition 1GB GDDR5,

SSD: SanDisk SSD Plus 240GB (Linux boot),

HDD: WD 1TB Green (Windows 10 Home Premium), 500Gb HDD (random games), 4TB Seagate Barracuda (ISO's and hoarding),  

PSU: 750W Corsair Semi-Modular Bronze efficiency,

Case: Aero 500 white side panel,

Spoiler

Raspberry Pi: First version model B 512Mb RAM, 700MH, pihole for the network

Laptop: Intel Pentium 3825U @ 1.90GHz, 4GB ram, 1TB HDD, Ubuntu server running samba

you know he said he wants nvidia maybe a 960 or 970 instead of the r9 390

 

i did read that, recommended the 390 as it performs better in games.

I currently have ddr3 and if anyone could look lower maybe 400 pounds cheers. also I prefer nvidia for shadow play

here's what you'll get for 400 pounds. if you really must use shadowplay and can't go for AMD raptr, get a gtx 960 4gb for around the same price.

I have created something like this but the price is quiet high up..

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/YgFznQ

you don't need an i7 if you're just gaming, much less a 6700k with a h110 mobo. don't need that aftermarket heatsink and thermal paste if you downgrade it to an i5
