Would somebody be able to recommend me all the components for a good gaming PC with a budget of around £550-600? Its needs to be able to run most of the modern games on High settings. Thanks. It would be helpful also if all these parts could be found on Amazon. :D

Here's something to consider:

If you don't mind a system that can't overclock, this will do just what you're asking for.

The r9 280 is around the same performance level as the gtx 760, you could switch to that if you want to pay the extra for it. It's not too much more I believe, but the r9 280 is cheaper and still fits within budget.
