Hi guys. New to pc building and could do with a little help. Im looking at building a fairly cheap gaming rig that will play the latest games. I already have an intel i5 4430, asus h81 plus motherboard, 8gb 1600MHz x 2 ram and a corsair cx430 psu. I need help in choosing a gpu and a tidy case. All suggestions welcomed. Thank you
 
On the GPU front and considering your PSU @430w I'd be looking at the latest GTX960's. Energy efficient yet powerful for 1080p gaming.

my monitor for now is just a 32" sony smart tv. The gpu sounds pretty good. i also dont have a dedicated gaming mouse and key board for now just a standard one but thats not important. If i can actually get this thing up and running i,ll be happy.
 
Also forgot to mention i,ll need storage as well. What would be my best options for hard drives? i,ll be needing something thats fairly fast and cost effective. Thanks guys
 
Ok. Iv got about £150-180 left to play with. I dont mind buying second hand either. Out of this i would like to get some storage and a gpu. Case optional. Thanks guys
 
i do like the idea of an ssd but which one and how much? heard crucial are quite good while so are samsung but a bit pricey.
 
Yes this case is quite nice, are there any recomended places to buy second hand parts either on here or elsewhere? if i cant get this off the ground i think i,ll let it all go. cheers guys
 
We have a members market, but you need a large amount of posts and registration time to access it.
