Hi everyone, looking to buy/ build my own PC for £650 with keyboard and mouse and OS. Was wondering if anyone could help recommend a build?
I want to play games such as Lock on flaming cliffs 2 and more modern flight sims, also games like DayZ, arma 3, wow, etc. so quite intensive games.

I have no idea where to start and if anyone could post a build or parts it would be much appreciated! Also, budget can go to 700 if necessary

Have you had a look at cases and do any catch your eye? Try keep the case to around £50 for that budget, so performance isn't sacrificed.

For £650 its a good build, If you can stretch to £750 there is a good intel option put forward.

These builds are too persuasive. Ok my budget is being upped to £750 max! This includes keyboard, mouse and OS (preferably 8.1 maybe ha)

I get paid in two weeks so I'll be buying it all at the same time too, my monitor is only a 1024 x 768 so it's not the best. But I'll upgrade that in a few months time!

So thanks everyone for the builds, but please could you do another one for the new budget! Really a great help guys. I'm not bothered about maxing the games, but high would be what I'm aiming for with good frames, but max would be a nice wee extra!

I'm not bothered about what the case looks like either or it's size, we'll not too big, after all only I'm going to see it!
