I got a bit of money to spend on making a gaming pc. I kind of have some basic ideas like and amd 6350 and gigabyte 670 gpu. Dont need operating system included as i already have it ready to install. In lots of places ive heard intel is better but i dont want to pay for integrated graphics. Might go for an 8350 cpu or a 770 gpu. Any advice would be appreciated

Not as good as the 770, but it won't fit into the budget as it's a £350 card, only leaving £250 for everything else.

The 770s have better performance, but are also higher priced.
