Hi there guys,

I have finally made the wise decision to move to PC gaming as my PS3 bit the dust and quite frankly am not bothered to repair or buy a next generation console.

My current budget is £550.

My intention is that this build can play Battlefield 4 on High settings averaging 60+FPS at all times. I also intend to keep this for the next 5 years.

Please keep in mind I already have peripherals and a OS, so no worries there!

To everyone who comments or assists on this thread, your help is much appreciated :)

*EDIT*

I have seen tutorials as to how to build a PC so not to worry :)

Firstly thank you for welcoming me to the forum.

Secondly, that is exceeding the budget by quite a bit. I don't mind exceeding it by £20-30, but 60 is really pushing is there anything that could be reduced or removed ?
 
There you go :)

Chrome seems to be playing up for some reason, I have to refresh twice to get my cart back.
