£500 Gaming PC Custom Build - Feedback Please

bwebo287 · Apr 17, 2014

Hi,

I'm going to build a gaming PC in the near future.
Basically, would like some feedback on the parts I've decided.

These are the parts: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/3tnew

Things to consider:
I'll be using it for high-end gaming and non-demanding multitasking.
I would like my PC to be cool and quiet, that's fairly important.
The budget is around £500 - £600.
I'm not planning on overclocking.
Planning on getting a monitor and keyboard too so recommendations welcome to take to around £600.

Thanks in advance.

+1, decent gaming build and works great for 600 quids. An OS would only be something like 60~90 quids.

Thanks, have you kept in mind that keeping cool and quiet is important.
Also, how does the R9 270 compare to the GTX 760?

But I was fairly set on the parts I had decided so would prefer some feedback if possible.
