Hi there, back again guys! I need to help my friend build a gaming PC which will mainly involve MMORPG's such as: SWTOR, WoW, LoL etc.

I will be giving her an SSD but she needs the rest of the system built for circa £600 which is about $950.

The list of parts we've come up with so far is:

CPU - FX-6350
MOBO - 990FX UD3
GPU - 1GB XFX 7790
PSU - 600W Corsair CXM
CASE - Zalman Z11 Plus
MEM - Corsair XMS3
HDD - 1TB Cav Blue

Please make any changes you see fit! Thanks!

I would recommend this build, it's a little over £600 (£625) but that's because it includes an OS with it :)

Here's the link http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/1xIwZ

CPU - AMD FX-8320 3.5GHz 8-Core Processor
Motherboard - MSI 970A-G43 ATX AM3+
Memory (RAM) - G.Skill Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory
Hard Drive - Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
Graphics Card - MSI Radeon HD 7950 3GB
Case - NZXT Source 210 Elite (White) ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply - XFX 550W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply
DVD Drive - Samsung SH-224DB/BEBE DVD/CD Writer (might not be required but it's so cheap I thought i'd add it in and if you didn't want the dvd drive your build would be £610)
Operating System Microsoft Windows 8...

Operating System Microsoft Windows 8 (OEM) (64-bit) (could be swapped with Windows 7 or if you don't want/need and OS then you could use the extra £70 for a different graphics card, more RAM or a better power supply so your build is more upgradeable in the future)

Hope I helped :)

That particular motherboard has no heatsinks on the VRMs and is known to overheat and even catch fire in many cases. switch it with a gigabyte or ASUS offering.

Has it, I thought MSI were a good brand for mobos or is it just that particular model I suggested?! Wow maybe don't go with that mobo and swap it, like tiny voices said for a Gigabyte or Asus one.

Glad you said that quickly or this person would be a very unhappy customer and I would be the one that got the blame!

:) btw, I know this is a little off topic but i'm new to Tom's Hardware so may I ask how you get your system information on the right side of every forum post you make for example yours says this "Intel i3 3225 | MSI Z77MA-G45 | Coolermaster Hyper T4 | 8gb RAM | SLI gtx560s | Antec HCG 750w | NZXT Vulcan"
