Hello
Im looking for a PC build for around £500 but might be able to go higher, I do quite a lot of gaming (Mostly DotA 2) and a bit of editing. With this budget is it possible to have an SSD?

I was thinking of having this build:
CPU: AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: ???
Memory: Kingston Beast 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Mushkin Chronos 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive + Seagate
Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Motherboard: ???
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB TWIN FROZR Video Card
Case: BitFenix Comrade ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: XFX ProSeries 450W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
Optical Drive: Lite-On iHAS124-14 DVD/CD Writer

Anyone got a better build or one thats on sale? Any idea for a Mobo or CPU cooler? Would i need any adapters with this build to get it running or have i missed something?
Thanks in advance. :)
EDIT: No OS, monitor, mouse, keyboard needed. Just the computer :)
 
I think something like this would be better for £50 more;

1 x Asus H81M-K Intel Core i5 DIY Micro ATX Motherboard, CPU & RAM Bundle £218.98

I think getting an SSD would compromise on the rest of the build a bit too much at this price bracket. This GPU is far superior to the 750Ti you specced, better PSU, faster memory but you'll have to use the Intel stock cooler. However, with an SSD

8320 + same GPU

Is this £50 over a bit too much?

The RAM I think, and maybe the PSU? Not 100% on the PSU however. ALso the SSD will finish on Wednesday
 
Hmm. Well it appears that theres been a slight change of plan :/ Is it possible for a £450 maximum price build? Forget about the SSD if it screws the build :)

no hdd in the build. can always add one later as a 256gb ssd is specced, should be reasonably sufficient unless you have loads of media files
