Well I want to build a pc in that budget for gaming that will be good enough to run battlefield 4 and other demanding games on high settings. Can anyone recommend a set up? Would like to have wifi 801.11ac and a blu-ray drive as well. Preferred CPU intel 4th gen and I can go a bit over my budget but not that much.
£700 Gaming PC Build? Help!

Yes it is. You're kind of getting above your budget with that though, but if you can do it, that's a pretty decent build.

You would be over budget with that rig after including Windows. Keeping under your 800 max, this is my pick. Managed to get a faster GPU included as well.

Since you are not going to need windows, that makes thing a bit easier. I would just get an FX 8320 over that 8350. Same chip, just different multiplier setting that is easily changed since they are both unlocked chips.
