Budget spec me!

I've got a case and graphics card but need a cpu/mobo/ram/PSU for as close to £400 as possible, cheaper would be better! the computers main purpose is BF4, doesn't need to run ultra or anything just comfortably will do.

I've always gone the intel route so this specme is purely incase AMD offer something similar performance wise with less of a price tag!

What case and GPU do you have?

Got a Zalman z9 case and a 660ti which I plan on re-using in this build.

Either of the sub £400's would be spot on...
