Evening all,

After a bit of advice, I'm looking to make my very first own build PC for gaming. Would like for it to be future proof but not on crazy money either. Going through the OCUK store I've picked out the following components to go into an Antec 300 case.

Please could you tell me if this PC for 1 will work? How well you think it would run? And just any advice, suggestions etc.

Thank you in advance.
 
 
Just as a bit of an afterthought, how would you affect that if my budget went to around £850 - £900?

I've already got an Antec 300 case and am happy to continue using that.

Bad choice of SSD - slower and more expensive than the MX100 :) I expect he needs windows as the original spec has it. 2TB HDD should be possible in that budget also :D
