Building a PC that will be used for some gaming but generally not the most modern games. I don't need to be able to play games at max but I still don't want to play games at a low fps. Don't really want to spend more than £450.

This is what I have come up with.

Any help and advise is greatly appreciated

Best advice I can give you is to contact the retailer and verify the existing BIOS on the motherboard --- you may then check the OEM website for CPU support under the BIOS version.

Most motherboards ship with the current BIOS but it is always a best practice to ask !!

Use the AMD Athlon x4 860K instead of the AMD A10-5800K --- that will save you £30 to £40.

Instead of the 'Green' HDD you should purchase a 'Black' or 7200 RPM 'Blue'

A Radeon R7 360 is a more powerful gaming card and will work fine with your power supply. It will save you some money, too.

You will likely have enough cash left over to add an SSD to your build while keeping the cost to less than £450.
