Im wanting to build the best gaming PC I can for 500 Pounds MAX. I will probably play games like GMOD, DayZ and the highest probably would be FIFA. Also something that would browse the internet fairly quickly. Thanks In Advance. P.S Best Place To Get The Parts?

This is what i'd get, however if you didn't want the SSD you could use the saved money to invest in a higher end graphics card.

Do I need an SSD ? If no then which higher end graphics card would you reccommend?

SSD's are primarily good for quick system start ups and games that have a lot of files to load at certain points like BF4. If you used an SSD rather than a HDD for BF4 then you'd load maps and get into games faster.

I'd personally go with this;

Similar to Buxtyy's build, with a slightly more powerful GPU.

The motherboard isn't as good, granted. The SSD is still alright, just not as good as the MX100. The case isn't poorer? Personally, I'd deal with a poorer motherboard and slightly worse SSD for a better GPU.

I would personally just take the Z87M Gaming purely for the features it offers over the one you suggested. I prefer the N200 over the N300 just for internal setup and cable management and from what I hear on the SSD front, is that SanDisk really ain't that hot and i'd rather spend the extra few quid for the MX100.
