Hey guys so i am building a pc and need some advise on what i should get as i do not know too much about building a pc or really much about one.
My budget: Anything under 300 GBP to maybe a little over
Do not need any peripherals all that is covered and i also have an Intel Core I5 2320 Processor and a 1tb HDD but do not know the make ready to go in.
My use for the pc is to play games such a call of duty 5 & 4, Gmod also maybe games like DayZ and such.
Any help will be much appreciated - Thanks

Thanks for that! i am thinking about taking the SSD out of my current PC but not sure how to check what it is could you tell me how?
Also would you recommend another fan or not?
Another thing also would it be possible to find a good graphics card for what i want but cheaper?

RX 460 is your best budget GPU option. You might be able to find a used GTX 770, GTX 780, or GTX 960 for under £100, which would be decent alternatives. Or, on the AMD side, HD 7950/7970, R9 270(x), 280(x), 285, or R9 380(x).
The case comes with a fan, just use that as intake. You can get a couple of Be Quiet Pure Wings case fans if you wish, but it's not necessary.
Read the make and model of the SSD you have? That's the best way of finding out what it is? Or if it's in a running system, download Speccy.

Nope, the GTX 750Ti would be a terrible option. It's several generations old and performs significantly worse than the RX 460.
