I like this build, but if you could afford it, up to a quad core i5 like the 4690... It will give alot more proccessing power to your system overall, and be better in a few years when you upgrade the graphics card - the CPU will still be strong enough to handle it.

why is every one so pro Intel when amd do things alot cheaper the 8350 is like 10 times better than the i3Don't say that I'm being a fan boy because I love AMD, just not their CPUs. Intel has a better single core strength whereas AMD has multiple weak cores. AMD is not good for gaming but I agree, it is okay for budgets.

Most of AMDs CPUs are outdated and perform no-where near as good as an Intel CPU. You're right that they are cheaper, but they just don't have the power.
For £613 i'd recommend buying an I5-4570 with a suitable H81/H85 motherboard. You don't need to spend much on a motherboard/cooler because you can't overclock it. This gives you more space to buy a better GPU, which will give you more performance for gaming.

thanks isnt the i3 just a sooped up intel pentium dual core ??I'v never heard of the heat sink but read reviews and seems to be good that the thing that iv been having trouble on. Sapphire or MSI for graphics cards
No, i3s are intels lower-end gaming/general web surfing cores. They contain hyper-threading technology, which helps give it great performance for basic tasks. Gaming at high graphics on an i3, however, is not the way to go.
I'd personally always suggest going atleast 4 cores for a CPU.

I agree intel i5 and i7 are great but his price range id say i3 or an AMD APU A10 6800KNo. AMD APUs are seriously cheap and not /that/ special. You can always buy a better CPU/GPU combination at a similar price.
I built my machine for £650 and it contains a i5-4670k/660ti. £613 is plenty enough to get a good i5 or a high-end FX 8xxx with a good cooler.
