Hi,
I'm wanting to build a PC, which will primarily be used for gaming, but will also be used for other stuff like Uni work, but that's just for stuff like word documents.

My budget is around £600, bearing in mind I already have a 550w OCR zs series PSU that could be used in the build to save money. I will also need an OS, I can get windows 8 for £50 as i'm a student.

So I'd be grateful for any build ideas and suggestions

Thanks!

if jonnyguru says he likes it... then im all for it.

and just so you know, if you did end up getting that nzxt 210 case... the bottom drive cages need to be removed to fit modern high end graphics cards. its not really a big deal since you still have the upper cages and unless you need 2 optical drives and 3 hard drives, this isn't an issue really. most would remove the cages anyways to increase airflow.

knowing the model antec would be nice, but generally antec makes high quality stuff so i will guess its more than fine. use the 50 leftover and buy windows with your student discount. if you need a monitor then some things will change obviously.

Thanks for the reply! I was mistaken, my PSU is an OCR 550w psu, ZS series.
