£350 gaming PC

In the end I've decided to go with this:
YOUR BASKET
1 x AMD Piledriver FX-6 Six Core 6300 Black Edition 3.50GHz (Socket AM3+) Processor - Retail £89.99
1 x Asus M5A97 AMD 970 (Socket AM3+) DDR3 Motherboard £81.95
1 x Corsair Builder Series CX 500w Modular '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply (CP-9020059-UK) £55.99
1 x BitFenix Shinobi USB3.0 Gaming Case - White/Black £49.99
1 x Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM (ST1000DM003) HDD £45.95
1 x TeamGroup Elite 4GB (1x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz Single Channel Module (TED34GM1600C1101) £31.99
1 x TP-Link 150Mbps Wireless PCI Express Adapter (TL-WN781ND) £8.95
Total : £378.91 (includes shipping : £11.75).



Ignore the prices as some bits were bought elsewhere, such as the motherboard which was £20 cheaper.
Not included a optical drive as I decided to use a USB to install Windows from and I doubt it would be used anyway.
I've already ordered the motherboard (revision 2 version) and the hard drive.
Is everything else looking good?

I've not included a graphics card as I will wait for a good deal to appear on the B-Grade section, if nothing good appears within a few weeks, then I will get a 7770 for £70.

Thanks for all the help!
 
If you can persuade him to wait a little while, then Kaveri would offer by far the best option for this kind of budget.

If you can manage to pick up an FX-4300 on a one day only deal, that would be best otherwise, CPU wise. If not, the first build someone suggested seems good.
 
If it's coming out after Christmas then no can do I'm afraid.
At the moment there is a £15 difference between the 4300 and 6300, and if there is a great deal on the 4300 (as you mentioned) then I'll grab that if it'll allow me to get a significantly better GPU.
 
I'd take the 6300. The marginal gain is well worth the money.

You could buy case+other things and then wait for kaveri it may prove itself to be awesome for the budget
