Back into gaming

[Doughnut007]

I have been out of PC gaming for a few years.

I have a budget to get me started of £600

Will need everything inc OS and monitor.

I'm looking for good base to upgrade on later.
No interest in OCing. Happy to go the AMD route.

will be playing Battlefield and Black ops III

What does the forum think.

Any reason not to go for the 3260? https://www.overclockers.co.uk/inte...ocket-lga1150-processor-retail-cp-605-in.html

Its a few pounds less and I'm pushing my budget at the mo.

The cheapest skylake bundle is £300??? Which will pit the build cost too high
