Gaming Build with acquired parts

[ACBr]

Hi Guys!

I'm looking for some help with building a gaming PC with a few components I've acquired from a friend after he updated his PC. The PC will predominantly be used for gaming, but will be used for photo & video editing and just casual internet browsing etc.

I will list the components that I will have from my friend below:

ASUS P8Z68-V Pro Motherboard
4 x Corsair 4GB DDR3 1333 MHz XMS3 Memory
Intel i7 3770K CPU

Budget for the remaining components will be about £400, but that could be stretched a bit further if it is required.

Any help from you guys would be greatly appreciated as I've never really built a computer before, so this will be my first great adventure!

Do you need monitor, operating system, keyboard and mouse for that budget too?

Did he give you a cooler with that CPU?

Thats a nice set of components - should be able to build a decent PC around that.

Any extra budget should probably go to the GPU first. And maybe a larger SSD.
