I need a solid entry level build

[Samwise1765]

Im looking into building my first gaming pc but dont really know what im doing, i have a budget of £450-£500. I will be playing things like Overwatch, CSGO, GTA V, Rust, H1Z1 and any other new releases.

Monitor, peripherals and OS arent needed. I have all that.

 

All help welcome.

Not sure about peripherals, but as the main piece, I'd go for an i3 6300 + RX470. And since it's your first, I assume you don't plan on overclocking, so don't bother with an intel 'k' series cpu, or an overclockable chipset.

You'd be surprised with what you can build for so cheap

You'll be able to run all the games listed at 1080p at max (or at least very close) settings :] It's better then my system, and I can run GTA V 1080p high and stay above 60fps. CSGO I get well over 200 completely maxed out. Should do you just fine :]

Oh and a single 8gb stick will allow you to add another 8gb in the future if you want, which I do recommend within 2017 since games are starting to like more then 8gb

You can use the UK pcper website.

I would go for an i5 or a i3 for the extra CPU power. Most of the games he plays tend to be CPU bound, so getting a i5 7500 for the extra cores or the i3 7100 for an improvement in base clock with weaker GPU might suit him more.
