Hello Tom's Hardware forum members, i'm about to start my journey to become a pc gamer and i would like to know what you think of the parts I've picked out. My original budget was £500 but I've went over it a little bit so any suggestions to change it should reduce the price if possible, if there's nothing wrong with it i'm willing to spend the extra money for this at the minute.
I plan to buy everything off aria pc and amazon later today or tomorrow.
i do plan to overclock at least a little bit.
I play alot of different games like skyrim, civ, battlefield, minecraft if that effects what you think of the build.
