So recently i got the idea of building a new gaming pc, but i have no idea about parts or anything like that.  So i thought i would come on here and maybe see if it would be possible for people to help me out. I would like some people to send me links to different pc spec lists and then whatever one i feel would be good then i may build it. I have a budget of £500GBP but i am willing to go over that, but not by much.

 

All help is welcome

Thanks

Would it be worth spending the extra money on the rx 480?

Not really considering how cheap a RX470 has become now :P 

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...

Rainbow Six, Overwatch, H1Z1, CSGO, GTA V and any other future titles that i may want to play

imo, my build and @herman mcpootis one are ok, if you want a ssd choose mine, but  you prefer an i5? then get his build

Not worth it to downgrade all the way to an i3 just for an ssd, he can always add it later.

Yeah i feel like i would be better off with an i5 just so i dont have to upgrade quicker than needed. Thanks for your help tho.
