Help building £700 PC

[Sam_Boyce]

Hi everyone,

I am looking for some advice on a PC build. It is for my brother, he has around £700-£750 to build a gaming rig. It would be used to run BF4, COD Advanced Warfare and WoW.

Preferably an Intel processor and an Nvidia GPU but that is based on my personal opinion and experience.

If you can offer any help or advice that would be brilliant.

Thanks

Assumes you don't require Windows.

The AMD 290 series is just priced so attractively at the moment it makes it hard at your budget to spec a decent Nvidia card that will compete.

I'd go for the bundle that's just been posed in this thread:

Use the change and intel cashback to buy a case.

You'd need to be quick though as it's tomorrow and Monday only, or until stock runs out
