Hi guys,

I'm a bit rusty with computer knowledge of parts at the moment so I was hoping you could help me with picking the best parts for a £500 Gaming PC.

Here is what I need:

Windows 7
Case
PSU
Graphics Card
Processor
RAM
CD Drive
Motherboard
Hard drive

I have a screen, speakers, keyboard and mouse.

If you could recommend parts, I would be grateful.

This build will be smaller form factor and it allowed me to add gtx 760 even more powerful video card although smaller usually means less pci-e slots that can be used for upgrades
