Sanctorum already did your build in this topic as seen here.

Great SSD. Nice case with a window. Nice RX 470 and an i3-6100 will be plenty for 1080p. You can easily swap the i3 out for an i5/i7 at any point of you wish. XFire support so you can easily add a 2nd GPU(RX 470 or RX 480) for more performance. 16GB RAM is nice, comes in handy with AAA titles like GTA V.


Click the link he posted and it'll bring up the page with your parts. From there click the blue button that says "buy" and it'll take you the website that is selling the part(s) for cheapest. You can also click on a part and it'll bring up all stores that are selling them for cheapest; as seen below. Best of luck with your new PC build once you get all the parts!

The second link you provided would be the best one. The RX 470 will preform a lot better on games and has better support for DX12 once developers start taking advantage of that more for newer games. This build also has an SSD which the first link does not. I may suggest (however someone can correct me if I'm wrong) the SSD you linked in the 3rd link, swap that SSD with the one in your new build (second link.) The OCZ TRION 150 has faster read, write and random write speeds.

Updated list below; if I'm wrong regarding the SSD and someone can correct me, use the first link I used as that's your default second link.

So I've decide to go with the one you suggested, should I buy in bulk of a bit at a time?

Whatever you can afford to do, if you buy over time you might find new parts come out that are better etc.. like me buying a GTX970 before the 1060/70 were released... rookie mistake. And if you can afford to buy all at once then why wouldn't you?- no reason not too.

Also, I'd wait til October to see what AMD Zen has to offer... (prices will go down on both nvidia and amd)

P.S- If you buy all at once then youd stick to the budget, if you buy over time you might snag some deals and getting better components, id also look second hand (ebay) for a gpu- gtx 900 series going cheap.

P.S.S- can you run ethernet, if not, youll need a wifi card (+£23).

Just my 2 cents ;)
