Hey,

This is my first PC gaming build and my first time ever actually setting up a PC: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/x382bv

Do I need any changes? Does anyone know if it will fit inside the case?
PC part picker states that it is all compatible so hopefully it should be good to go.

Uses for the PC:
- Gaming (eg. Battlefield, DayZ, GTA, Watch Dogs)
- Multitasking (eg. Downloading, watching videos & playing games)

Budget is supposedly £500 but it looks like that's gone out the window.

After a quick look it all looks good, if you really want to save $10-$15 just get 1600mhz ram and you could just get a 500w power supply instead of the 600w.

Edit: And everything should fit.

I've been talking to a few people and some say this, others don't. Few people suggested that I downgrade my Graphics Card to a R9 270X and upgrade my i5-4430 to a i5-4670. Should I do this or should I just keep the same build?

Well considering that the r9 270x is rated by toms as the best for performance to dollar between the two I would go with it anyway (I didnt realise it was cheaper, where I live they're about the same price anyway) so if you can save money I would definitely go the 270x. As for your cpu I would use the i5-4590, its pretty much as powerful as the 4670 but cheaper in most places im pretty sure, oh and once again toms rated it as the best for money in its price class in june.
