I would like to build a computer but I don't know what is good in terms of stuff to get, I would like to play games like Battlefield 4 or DayZ on High/Ultra and my budget is £500-£600 or $850-$1000

I prefer AMD in GPU and CPU and also I don't want water cooling

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks

I'm telling you AMD and Nvidia are a better combination. The power and freedom of an AMD CPU and the better experience with a Nvidia GPU is better than full AMD from my own personal experience. Here's my suggestion:

Intel's processors are better in my opinion... They are usually stronger and use less power.

OP prefers amd and frankly so do I. However, I feel that an nvidia gpu is better instead of amd gpu so yeah. Intel wasn't coming into play here.

It's bullshit. I agree that single core performance of Intel is better than AMD but that does not mean that amd's cpu's are bad. They have the best price to performance ratio like their GPU's. The 8350 is worth every penny unlike the 4670k which is quite highly priced but doesn't deliver that much improvement over the 8350. What makes someone think that nvidia gpu's are better? Is it because they are less power hungry? At the same time they are more costly. AMD's next gen. gpu's would be more power efficient and they will again have the same great price to performance
ratio as they have now.
