[ Register or Signin to view external links. ] Not looking to spend any more than 300 pounds, if you have any recommendations let me know.
Thanks.

I am not going to lie, I don't know THAT much about building PCs, but I looked into your build a little.

The build is decent, but if you may want to save a bit more money to upgrade it.

The GTX 550ti is an okay card, but I don't think it will be able to run games on their highest settings.

I don't know much about motherboards, but only 16GB maximum memory seems a little low to me. Also there is only two RAM slots, and there is no HDMI support.

I won't be using any more than 8 GB of ram so that's okay but I didn't even realise it didn't have HDMI support, thanks for pointing that out.

My friend uses this board and it works well. It supports up to 32GB of RAM in case you want to upgrade at one point.

Also, if you are able to use the OS from your old computer you could upgrade your GPU, because you would have saved 88.

According to pcpartpicker, the GPU you picked is not compatible with your case.

I wouldn't use that motherboard because it would bottleneck my RAM because the memory type only goes up to 1333Mhz and the ram I'm going to buy is 2133Mhz.

Ah didn't see that.

Like I said earlier, I don't know much about motherboards, but that looks good.

Most games will use a lot less memory than that. 32GB is not needed, unless you're going to be running every single Adobe programme at once. 8GB is more than enough for most games.

I know that, but I was meant just in case he wanted to upgrade to that much.
