He's on a budget, bang for his buck. That's the best build in his price range.

Hmm i don't know, a lot of people still use AMD and say it is good, plus will i be able to get a good intel CPU for £86? Since i can get a 6300 for that and it is still a good CPU. Plus the motherboard i want doesn't work with intel CPU's

I mean go with whatever you want! I am just saying Intel blows it away it's pitiful. My buddy spent 500$ on a quad core amd! Along with my other buddy who got a amd quad also.
I went with Intel, and spent less money than they did. And they just cant keep up!
And yeah the i7 is godly my cousin dropped 1k down, wished I had it xD
I used AMD myself, until I got this Intel glad I went with it!

Yeah so since I'm on a budget I'm going with the AMD after i get the full use out of my motherboard and FX-6300 ill swap out for a intel CPU and a motherboard with a intel chipset.

Sounds like a good plan.

650 ti is a great choice for price/power. I would recommend getting windows 7 pro just in case you ever want to install any more ram.

Na i won't ever be getting more RAM since 8GB is more than enough for FPS games i wouldn't need 16 or 12GB of RAM so home premium is fine for me and also would getting another 650 Ti improve my FPS and performance on games?

In most games SLI is poorly optimized so no. If you want more performance id recommend a 660 ti/670.

What about CrossFire? The motherboard doesn't support SLI only CrossFire and if it's the same with CrossFire ill probably just wait a year or two and get a 760 or something.

My first gaming PC build:

Intel dual core 2.1ghz

450WATT PSU

ATI Radeon HD 4650 (it broke cause my PSU didn't have enough power going to it.)

So then I switched to onboard graphics that didn't even load direct3D.



My current build:

Good PC by the way how many fans do you have? Because my case has 1 fan built in then I'm buying an extra 2 fans, wondering if that would keep my PC cool, i have been told my case has good airflow as well.
