I've looked up plenty of tutorials on how to build a gaming PC, and I feel pretty confident that I can successfully build a working gaming PC. There's just one problem, I don't know much about parts. I want someone to suggest a build that you know works well that I can use. My budget is £600 and I need peripherals. Also, I'd prefer to have windows 8.
 
This its an extremely low price for gaming PC if you could go a bit higher it would be fine but if no look for these parts

If you can OP try and go for a 750Ti compared to a 650.
