I would like to ask for some help or suggestions to my first building guide: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/CRk8JV

I'm not an expert that is why I'm looking for help on forums or youtube so please help. Thank you.

I would like to use this build as a workplace for studying and also gaming (mostly csgo).

Btw I can extend my build with V21 Thermaltake case which is also not so expensive case.

My budget for the whole setup including monitor, keybr, mouse,.. is about £700 max £750.

I didn't choose the gpu yet so I will be happy if you could recomend any good ones that fit the specs. (Budget: £200)

I will be happy also if you could leave any smart comments about any of the parts especially cpu, mb and psu.

Thank you for remaking/rebuilding my first build. You gave me an idea what I could go for and you showed that this forum is able to help me easily. I would only like to say that for start I won't be able to buy the gpu but I will probably buy it when I will be able to afford it so my budget is a bit low, for now it is around £550. I'm a student and I would like to use this build for studying but also for light gaming so I won't need any extra expensive components. I only would like to ask about the OS. I just found out that Kinguin doesn't sell valid codes so I won't recomend of buying any cheap keys just to get scamed. Do you think Linux would make this build or should I just go a bit over my budget and buy solid Windows for £90?

Sorry but I didn't really get the idea why you changed the case, mouse, keybr. Does it really matter if I pay about £20-£50 more or less. I rather go for a better case because it holds everything inside and it should look a bit better.

Case Keyboard Mouse is always Users choice. I tried to give you great performance package. You can change case, keyboard and mouse according to your comfort.
