Best gaming build for £750 budget?

luke130697 · May 25, 2014

Hi, I posted in this topic a couple days ago about my draft for a gaming rig. The rig that another user helped me settle for was ~£900. Sadly my parents have now set my budget to £750.
My question is what is the best value gaming rig I can squeeze out of this budget.
Thanks in advance.

Good CPU and can be overclocked to 4.5GHz and with the Hyper 212 evo it will stay cool.
The R9 280X will run all games on max settings.
A good PSU that is modular so easy cable management.
And of course a case with good airflow.

Thanks guys, I'm going to have a good look at your suggestions. Peripherals are not a problem at the moment, I have a 27" hanging around on my desk with a keyboard and mouse.

Edit: I know this is probably an odd question but I am quite new to this, which of the two suggested builds will have the best performance? The £8 over budget build is not a problem.
Thanks

It's upto you but i can say this "290 is always a better option".

For future upgrading the Intel build is the best, for now the Amd build is the best.
