Hello - I posted on here before in December with a different budget to get an idea of what I could get for my money. I have been looking at various parts but thought I would get another opinion on this. My question is what would you buy if you had £600 to spend on a new system - (Rig,Monitor,Keyboard,Mouse etc.)

Please note I do not need an operating system, I already have windows 8. Additionally I also have a Corsair CX500M PSU which i hope could be utilised.

In regards to the system it will mainly be used for playing BF4. I would like the monitor to be around 24" - and also be capable to be used as a TV for console gaming etc.

I would like to use the system as it is for a while before I need to even think about overclocking which would probably when a new BF game is released, but when the time comes would like to have the option.

Many thanks for all your help in advance.

For the money, you can probably get a better GPU which will give a better gaming experience. I'll put something together and see.

This is a much better choice. You do not need that CPU cooler as you will not be overclocking right away and you do not need an SSD as it does nothing at all for gaming performance.

The GPU I have selected is about 3x as powerful as the gtx650ti in the other build. This is definitely the way to go.

Thanks you both for your replies.

Some of the components are the same as I had in mind, it is nice to see a full system.

One question is why choose the Zotac over the other branded 760 cards? I would be willing to spend a bit more on a more reliable/better 760 if you could recommend one?

Alos just to confirm the PSU I listed can support this setup and the monitor could be used as a gaming console TV if needed?

Once again thanks for your help.
