Alright guys i have been searching and researching parts too much and decided to go with this final build that i have put together. Can you tell me how well this will do on upcoming games and the current games out. I will like to play all games on 1080p around atleast medium to high settings.

CPU: AMD FX6300 Black Edition 6 Core (3.5/4.1GHz, 8MB Level 3 Cache, 6MB Level 2 Cache
GPU: Asus 2GB GDDR5 Nvidia GeForce GTX 650Ti Boost Graphics Card
PSU: Corsair Builder Series CX 430 Watt ATX/EPS 80 PLUS Bronze
RAM: Corsair 4GB 1600MHz CL9 DDR3 Vengeance (Will upgrade To 8GB Down The Line)
HDD: Western Digital 1TB internal Hard Drive - Caviar Blue (3.5 inch)
OD: Samsung 24x SATA DVD Writer - Black
MotherB: Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 Motherboard AM3+
Case: CiT Vantage Midi Mesh Gaming Case
Total: £430.30

The Total was around £430 when my budget was around £400. however I guess i can spend that extra £30 to get better performance. Also if you know of any better builds than this feel free to post below. It must come around £400-430 as i will not be spending more than that.

This build will no play next gen games on high settings. For the CPU get the Intel Core i3 4130 and for the GPU get a AMD Radeon HD 7850 and also get a 500w PSU instead of a 430. This build is a LOT better than the one you listed and will play next gen games on high settings.

Firstly, i heard that a 430W PSU 80+ bronze should suffice with this build as i will not be overclocking. Secondly, i heard that 2GB version of 650ti Boost is better than the 1GB Version of Radeon 7850. The 2GB Version of 7850 is like £20-30 more, since im on a budget that seems like a lot to me. Lastly, I heard that the FX 6300 is the best budget CPU out there since it has 6 Cores and Upcoming Games are starting to utilize more than 4 Cores.

Sorry, I thought you were going to get the GTX 650ti not the ti-boost. And you are right a tiboost is slightly better than a 7850. And if you are gaming and putting your PC under stress then you may need a 500w PSU. The 6300 is OK, but not as future proof as the i3 4130 as it has a 1150 socket which is for the HASWELL and BROADWELL CPU's. So if you ever wanted to upgrade it would be easier to with a i3 4130.

Yeah true, i may get the 500W PSU. Also i3 4130 does have better upgrade options with i5 or i7's, however the AMD does aswell since theres AMD FX 8350 and 9590. The next time i decide to upgrade is when i have enough money for one of those CPU's along with a more high end Graphics card like the new R9 280x or 290x.

Spooky, I've just ordered the exact same parts with a Zaltman Z9 case, 500w Corsair PSU and 8gb RAM. I will be building it on Xmas day with my lad and hope to be well into Battlefield 4 by boxing day. I've been researching for ages and the biggest recurring advice was that with intel you are paying a premium for the name. So I'm with you on the AMD family upgrade option.
