Hey, I have never built a gaming PC before but decided to give it a go! I have a budget of approximately £500 give or take. How does this build I have made look? What do you propose. Suggestions, opinions and ideas are welcome :D

Is it worth the money, I'm on quite a tight budget since I also have to buy some additional gaming components and the build is already at the high 500s mark :p No problem though whatsoever if it's worth it.

Also sorry for asking (First time builder noob) but will I have to buy any additional cables or wires to connect everything up or will they be supplied with the components? (Screws ect)

Oh cool, well ima get to planning and buying, so would I be able to put together a computer if I bought everything in the list? Is it all compatible and stuff? Additionally do you know of any reliable building guides? Thanks once again.

Radeon R9 380 2GB or Nvidia GTX 960 2GB. I also saw somewhere the 2GB graphics cards were becoming out of date, will that become a problem in the foreshore future? [Edit: After further research the R9 380 looks like the card for gaming, however is it worth £20 or so more for the 4 GB version?]
