Hi, i was wondering if anyone can help me out. I am looking a half decent gaming computer. The max i want to spend is about £500 or just over. i am going to build it myself. so if anyone could help that would be great.

thanks Stuart

If you are going for the i5 in Olivier`s spec then yes, but will not fit in the Merc Alpha.
But if you are going with the i3, it is overkill, a £20ish cooler will suffice.

do you think you could suggest one becuase wouldn't know which one to pick?

Done you a revised spec as prices have changed since Olivier`s build. Forget about a cooler for the moment. That can be gotten later if you feel you need one, if temps are high or stock is to noisy.
