Hi guys, first post here!
I recentely sold my xbox one and i am looking to either buy a fully built gaming pc, or build one. I am happy to buy a fully built one as long as i will be able to upgrade it throughout time.
I want a pc with these specs ideally so i can play FIFA15 on the new ignite engine.
CPU: Intel i5-2550K @ 3.4Ghz
RAM: 8GB
Hard Drive Space Required: 15.0 GB
Supported Video Cards: ATI Radeon HD 6870, NVIDIA GTX 460
DirectX: 11.0
Im not after the exact products just something to work around.
I have seen this that i like:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141231574435?ssPageName=STRK:...
Price range £400 maximum.
Please help me.

An A8 with just integrated graphics won't meet the specs for FIFA.
You won't get much even for 500 quid. Save some more. Post back when you've got 800.
This is OK (in US) - http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/build-your-own-budg.... Just drop from gtx 770 to 760 and it comes to $700 in US. Put the parts in PartPicker UK to see what it'd cost.

What about using a intel-4670k processor and msi-787-g45 motherboard and building from there?

Sounds good. Or an i5 4690k and ASRock Z97 Extreme 4 - even better.As for cost effectiveness i think i will stick to the msi!! Thank you for your help.
This is my build proposal:
i5 4670k
zalman cnps5x (do i need one right away?)
Msi-787-g45
Corsair Vengeance 8GB ( 2 x 4GB ) Memory DDR3 1600 MHz DIMM 240pin RAM CL9 LP
Western Digital Caviar blue (1tb)
I am waiting on a friend to get back to me about his second hand graphics card
and I need a power supply (suggestions? low price)
and a case (cheap as i can upgrade at a later date)
and a disc drive (does it matter what one?)

Wonder what is wrong with PCPartPicker. Strange pricesI just purchased the Msi z87 mobo for £57 with £8 shipping from eBay.
The intel i5 4670k can also be picked up for £140
How well will the above cope with new upcoming games such as GTAV?
MSI Z87 which model pl? CPU is great for gaming. What about CPU Cooler?

Yes and Cooler Master Cosmos SE in just $14.9! Man I wish these were the actual prices!

Samsung 840 EVO is a best value for your bucks. Google it and read the reviews. There are other brands as well like Kingston HyperX, Corsair GS Force 3 series, Mushkin, Crucial etc. But Samsung is mostly recommended.
I'm using Corsair LS 240 GB and Samsung 840 EVO 250GB. Samsung SSD produces much better results.
It was my recommendation only. You may consider whichever SSD appeals you. Pl do read the review of your chosen SSD before buying.

Another question guys.
As for the OS, i am undecided between Windows 7 home premium or Windows 8.1, Windows 7 seems to be a popular choice however wouldnt 8.1 be future proof in a sense.
Also there is a massive price difference between buying hard copies compared to downloadble copies. Anyone point in the right direction here?
