Good First build?

[Astralye]

This is going to be my first build and this is what I'm planning so far but the graphics card will come later when I have the time to work for it bc I'm playing on a terrible laptop and something that can decently run games like Counter-Strike or League at atleast 1080p 60fps medium low would be fine.

 

Cpu - Intel i5 7500 £160

Mobo - Asrock B250 Pro4 £60

Ram - Ballistix Sport LT DDR4 4x4 16GB £90

HDD - 1Tb Western Digital £40

SSD - 250GB 850 EVO £90

Case - NZXT S340 Elite £80

PSU - Corsair RM550X £80

GPU - EVGA Gtx 1070 SC £330

 

All together w/o around £590 but with GPU £900

With the 1070 you will be able to get more than 60FPS with Ultra settings

What I meant was that I was going for the pc without the gpu and that was kind of my expectations.

I don't think that you will be able to get 60FPS at 1080p with the 7500's iGPU

Get an SSD if your budget allows, or lower your HDD, and put in a small SSD for booting.

Also I'd run 2x8gb for RAM, allows for upgradeability in the future.

Surely they can reach 60fps 1080p on League or Counter Strike? I checked out benchmarks on youtube with the 7500 and they reach over 60

Most likely not, maybe 60fps 720p though.

Where are you seeing an i5-7500 for £160?

£40 cheaper but you're going to need at least a cheap GPU. That being said, go look at used GPUs and you should be able to get yourself a HD 7950/7970, R9 280(x), or GTX 770 and get the whole system including GPU for a little over £600. That will have you playing anything you want at 1080p comfortably. And you could even drop the 250GB 850 EVO, get a 120GB SSD to save like £40 and that way, with a used 7950/7970/280(x) or 770, you're around the same price as that system in your OP(£590).

 

Or, you could get a cheapo piece of trash GPU for now as output and save up for an RX 580.

You could fit in a lot more horsepower for $900- like a Core i7 6700k and a Z170 motherboard for a much more future-proof build (even though this 1070 is a little louder and hotter than most).

$950 with the SSD.

This is a bit overkill for just CS:GO and LoL you could just use a G4560 or Ryzen 1400 slap an RX 470 4gb in their and your good to go.

What I was meant to say was thats the games I hope to play for the mean time but i will buy some more demanding games like BF1, The Witcher 3, Doom etc

LMAO BF1 is not demanding at all on your CPU or GPU, however Witcher 3 and DOOm are another thing. You seemed rather speific about CS:Go and LoL so I though have casual shooter like cs:go adn overwatch and moabs.
