No build it yourself, just make sure you ground yourself first.

Plug in your PSU to the wall but turn it off at the back of the PSU but keep it on at the wall, and touch the PSU before you touch a component.

you will receive many boxes with the hardware within them, if you are worried about breaking anything during installation look into scansure.

VAT: Value Added Tax
you pay to buy stuff basically, the more it costs the more you pay to buy it.

yes it's over budget, borrow some money and work it off or some shit, you get a good monitor and a decent kb/mouse..
if you can't afford, use some cheap keyboard and mouse for the time being.


I forgot to edit the original
And is scan.co.uk the cheapest place to buy from? And is it trusted??
Yes its trusted. But I'm ordering my build of amazon as i have Prime next day delivery.

Thanks for all the help, and finally is it better to get scan to assemble the pc for me, or just order the parts and do it myself

I don't know how much they charge for building
but I would build it myself, it isn't difficult and you get a good feeling of self achievement when it is done.

Thank you and sorry if this is getting annoying but this I'm new to this my final question is with this build, would I be able to do homework and photo editing?
And what sort of frame rate and quality should I expect from this PC on games such as bio shock and gta??
Once again thanks for all your help

a gaming PC is useful not only for games, but usually being of higher end hardware it will perform great with other tasks such as homework and editing etc.. when I did web dev in school it was awful doing it at school as the PC's were so slow compared to mine..
games, have a look at benchmarks on youtube as I honestly can't tell you.

You wont be getting the max setting with 60fps, but on medium maybe high you will. And yes with the quad core H/b and Photo editing will be good!

Motherboard is pretty barebones.

Better GPU, better mobo, better cooler. You can easily add another 380 in XFire to this rig, and you can OC the 860k if you wish. Either way, add an SSD when possible.
