For £500 I would look at this then:

YOUR BASKET
1 x MSI HD 7850 Power Edition Twin Frozr IV OC 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card w/ FARCRY3 & Sleeping Dogs PC Games £161.99
1 x Intel Core i3-3220 3.30GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - Retail £89.99
1 x Gigabyte Z77-D3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard £79.99
1 x Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB SATA 6Gb/s 16MB Cache - OEM (ST500DM002) £41.99
1 x Antec High Current Gamer 400W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply £40
1 x Xigmatek Asgard Pro Gaming Case - Black £32.99
1 x TeamGroup Elite 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (TED38GM1600HC11DC01) £23.99
1 x LG GH24NS95 24x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM £18.98
Total : £504.91 (includes shipping : £12.50).




And then upgrade to an Ivy i5 later when you have the money. Or spend the extra £60 and get the Ivy now.

The i3 or the i5?

The i3 won't struggle with any games with the exception of the extremely CPU heavy games (bf3 64 man multiplayer) and WOW at high (all processors struggle then).

hi what i5 is it you would say is best for my budget
 
Sorry for hijacking this thread too, was wondering, with the above rig, how easy is it to upgrade/improve and is there a chance if you were to buy separate components that it could be built for you?

im guess ing this would be easy to upgrade as he said just by an i5 in the future and would nt be to hard to build ur self
 
self builds are reasonably easy to put together as everything really only fits in 1 place or in 1 certain way. the difficulty however is when you run into problems, faulty ram, motherboards psu's etc. without spares or access to another system of similar spec you could be faced with the cost of returning parts to the supplier to be tested etc.

but simply switching out the likes of a cpu or gpu at a later date is pretty easy if you take your time
