I'm looking to build a gaming system for my cousin.

This is the list of parts I've put together:

CPU: FX-6300 (£80)
Cooler: Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro (£18)
MoBo: Asus M5A97 R2.0 ATX AM3+ (£64)
RAM: 2x4GB Patriot Viper 1600MHz (£60)
HDD: Toshiba 2TB (£55)
GPU: EVGA 760 (£192)
Case: Zalman Z3 (£35)
PSU: EVGA 600w (£50)
Optical: Samsung DVDRW (£12)
KB&M: Aula Bundles Blue LED Keyboard+ Mouse (£30)

Total: £596

I've not built an AMD system before but for the budget, it's hard to go Intel so any recommendations would be appreciated.

Thank you :)
 
Not a bad build dude. Possibly change the case to something a bit better. Such as the CoolerMaster k280 or something along those lines. I have heard a few bad reviews about the quality of the Zalaman Z3

That PowerColor card comes with BF4 and another four free games, and also with backplate. SSD instead of HDD to begin with. Easier/more efficient to pop in a storage drive later on than it is to transfer OS and drivers etc to a new SSD in future.
