I'm trying to make a build for a friend with a budget of £400 with a little bit of flexibility. I'm trying to make the most out of the money in terms of achieving the best performance for gaming that I can. Just wanted to see if anyone had any recommendations or improvements that could be made without spending more. I'd greatly appreciate any advice, thanks.
The build can be found here: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/1zSCF
