Approximate Purchase Date: the closer the better

Budget Range: (£300) Before VAT

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Internet, Other

Parts Not Required:keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, GPU, Case, (have really shitty) PSU: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HEC-300AR-PTE-300W-ATX-Power-Supply-/251033490962
have a hard drive too but it's pretty bad.

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: scan.com, overclockers, ariapc etc. (we're in the uk so newegg isn't an option).

Country: UK

Parts Preferences: would prefer an AMD CPU since they tend to be cheapest, other than that have no preference on brands.

Overclocking: Maybe- never done it and is not a priority.

SLI or Crossfire: No, seems excessive and pointless.

Monitor Resolution: can't actually remember, is this really important? It's a fairly small screen.

Additional Comments: Don't need anything fancy, would just like to build as good a gaming PC as possible with the money I have. Already have an AMD 6670 GPU but would like to upgrade this in a year or so.

Lol throw that PSU in the garbage bin because that could fry your pc

I would recommend something like this:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-F2A75M-D3H Micro ATX FM2 Motherboard (£59.99 @ Aria PC)
Memory: A-Data XPG Gaming Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2133 Memory (£63.90 @ Overclockers.co.uk)
Storage: Hitachi 500GB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (£40.00 @ Ebuyer)
Power Supply: Antec EarthWatts Green 380W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply (£38.50 @ Amazon UK)
