Okay, so I'm going to get a desktop PC to use for gaming. I'll put around £800 ($1140). 
I have no clue about anything and each time I go to build something I always go over, so if anyone could put one together for me I'd appreciate it. 

What I'll be doing:

GTA 5
Battlefield
GMOD
CS:GO (Not that it matters as the Nintendo DS can run csgo)
Fallout
COD4Remastered - when out
I'm not sure if it's possible to make a PC do this for my budget but HELP PLEASE. 

THANKS XO

Do you intend to be doing any video editing?

How do you feel about setting up watercooling for your CPU?

Don't really have a clue what it does, not sure if I'd be able to set it up myself but if I could get somewhere to do it and have it shipped to me then I'd go for it.

Also if you'd be able to help me out, would it be possible to drop the price down by £100, so I can buy keyboard/mouse and a decent headset.

To save money for a keyboard and headset, switch out your graphics card for something lesser.

Could you add me on Steam? I'd then be able to talk it through in more depth.

Thanks Kat, I'll look though it and try some variations. 

Added you Nightmare.

550W with a 390X?

Mad fucker this one.


This is very similar to my current build: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/TxdJxY
You can swap things out depending on how much drive space you want, if you want an SSD etc.
The older chipset might be a burden for future upgrades, however. Depends how long you intend to keep it.
Oh, and take note the chosen case has no front USB 3.0 so if you want that convenience I suggest you choose another. (There are still rear ones)

At least you save a good amount on the case to reinvest in parts.

On another note, I've sent Mustang a parts link.
