New PC Build

[ILikeGaming]

I have already made a post about a new PC build for a budget of around £850 but I broke my phone so I'm going to have to reduce that budget to  £700 and under. 

I would like it if someone could recommend a build to me that fits what I want

What I want

-£700 or under

-Lots of upgrade paths

-Made specifically for gaming

-Looks Good

The OS and peripherals are not included in the 700 pound budget

So. It has an overall red theme but lacks an SSD (not much of an issue). i5 6500 which is a good processor, RX 480 MSI which is red, red RAM, red mobo (I could got a cheaper but asthetic is what I care) and the case is black/red too

GTX 1060. But the red ones are more expensive than RX 480 so keep in mind.

Kaby Lake uses 1151 socket. It's more of a socket compatible not motherboard chipset. We will have to wait

why a black and blue case lol

 

you can upgrade to a kaby lake in the future. right now a possible upgrade is a 6700 non k. if you decide on overclocking your cpu you need a z mobo which is expensive

change to a black red one. if you can get a-data ssd because cheaper but if it works then you are fine
