The 650 isn't a very good performer. Get the 7790 for £99.

The i3 will struggle with the latest games having only 2 cores. You can get a 2500K second hand for about £100.

i think i would go for the first one, and is the same price, but better looking and cooling, as it gor 4 fans included on the price
the psu can you spec me a 500w one? as it i will add 3 dvd drive on the feature
MHD
 
well cases are personal preference after all.

And no I wont spec you a 500w PSU :p

430w is more than plenty enough for that system and wont have a problem with 3 more dvd drive.
 
is this ok?

I'd go for a 6300 over an i3 any day unless you want it for older games only, the latest and future games are better with 4 or more cores, e.g. Crysis 3 really suffers on dual core. It'd be better to go for a 970 board rather than a 700 series one.

7790 is the best card under £100, so unless a B-grade 7850 comes along that's fine.

Cant comment on the Cpu/platform side of things but I would always pick intel for my builds :p

I think i will go amd route the first time, i got an pentium 4 at 3.6 ghz single core, would i nottice a lot of diferrence going for an 6 core?
Ionly choose the 700 series because of the price, i really dont wanta pass £500 with the case

This game is seriously hard on the GPU, but it's an example of how limiting an i3 can be compared to an i5, where all the recent 4+ cores do more or less exactly the same:

This example isn't supposed to be representative of all games, just a very recent one which is optimised for multi-core.

The shortfall here of the 6300 could be made up mostly with an overclock as shown in the benchmark.

So i did what you told me and get an 6300 that will perform well and grab a new mobo

Also i downgrade the psu and grab a 430w, and the price is suprisilly the same as above

Although 430w is fine for the i3, I would go for ~500w for the 6300 because of the extra cores. 430w would be ok though.

Do you have a cooler already? Without one overclocking will be really limited.

i am not thinking of overclocking right now to save a few ££££, the budget is very limited, as my mum wont give more, that's ok, because if you think its a lot of money for a 13 year boy to spend
