Right i would like to make a gaming PC for £800 or less. The only games i play are Starcraft 2 and Vega contflict. I know they might not be the top notch graphics games but i would like them to look the best. As long as it dont lag wile im on raidcall or got music on wile playing them im happy. So im not looking for a super gaming PC but dont mind spending up to £800 to get a good one. I might play better games as time comes. This is only for the tower as ive got a screen mouse and keyboard. If its cheap enough i wouldnt mind getting a better keyboard and mouse. But the tower is my main thing. Thank you guys for your help.

Slightly under budget and if you wanted to spend a few more quid Id opt for a better case or adding an other case fan.

A system you build yourself doesn't come with windows, hence why lee32uk was asking if you needed an operating system.

I take it from your replies that you don't actually feel comfortable making the system yourself and might be better buying a tower already made up?

This might be a easier option. Pre-built system including windows:

YOUR BASKET
1 x "Titan Bayonet" Intel Core i5 4670K @ 3.8GHz Turbo AMD Radeon Gaming PC £274.00
- 1 x No Sound Card Upgrade £0.00
- 1 x HIS Radeon R9 270X IceQ BOOST 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £155.99
- 1 x Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM (ST1000DM003) HDD £41.99
- 1 x Samsung 120GB SSD 840 EVO SATA 6Gb/s Basic - (MZ-7TE120BW) £68.99
- 1 x Intel Core i5-4670K 3.40GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - OEM £169.99
- 1 x BitFenix Comrade Midi-Tower - Black £29.99
- 1 x Microsoft Windows 8.1 64-Bit DVD - OEM (WN7-00614) £74.99
- 1 x 24 MONTH WARRANTY - COLLECT & RETURN £0.01
- 1 x Standard Build Systems - Dispatched within 7 working days £0.00
Total : £830.94 (includes shipping : £12.50).

 
If you build yourself it obviously is cheaper and can put in better components for the same money.
 
I could make it and work it out. I just dont know the best bits to get. If i know what i need i can make it or get help. yes i need a operating system too then. Thanks for the help guys i do appreciate you help.
