So im looking to build a gaming PC setup for under £500. This includes the monitor, the os, cables/keyboard and mouse, And the PC itself. For the the, it kinda needs to be able to run games like battlefield 4 and GTA V when it comes out at high settings, 30-40fps+. I know this is very hard to do and ive tried doing it myself but i cant :(
Ive been making builds based around an Radeon r9 270x and FX 6300. I was just wondering whether it was just worth building a PC or should i just get a ps4 or xbox one :/
 
thats the best i can do 100$ over
