New build by a novice

[sideshow4069]

As per my previous post, i've been out of the PC building game for years and have no idea whats what.

My son wants me to build him a gaming PC, i'm on a buget and need some advise on best buys. I have £250 for the motherboard, processor and memory and would appreciate any suggestions of what i should go for, i would really like to keep it Intel unless AMD have something stunning.

Thanks in advanced

This ought to do. Stick a decent GPU in and it'll play most games at a decent clip

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Intel Core i3-6100 3.70GHz (Skylake) Socket LGA1151 Processor - Retail= £113.99
• 1 x Gigabyte H110M-S2H Intel H110 (Socket 1151) DDR4 Micro ATX Motherboard= £54.95
• 1 x Team Group Elite 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-19200C16 2400MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black (TPKD416GM2400HC16D= £74.99

Total: £254.43
(includes shipping: £10.50)

Post above is pretty much the best combo for that price. The HD 530 will actually run a few games too if you dont put a GPU in yet. Although dont expect ultra @ 1080p details
