Relatively Cheap Gaming Build...

Hi guys,

I sold my PC about 7 months ago but now keen to buy myself a good value for money build to play some Battlefield and GTA V.

Ideally a small case so it can sit discretely under my desk, other than that I'm open to suggestions.

Budget max £500.

Cheers

£26 over OK?

I have this chip with this cooler and its fine at 4.4Ghz, Z97 board gives you better overclocking and upgrade options.

I would see how you go and add a HDD later for more storage, more important to have a solid platform to last longer.

If you can stretch to it then an SLI board will allow you to add another 960 later.
