Just for confirmation would this build be compatible for each part? (I will get a friend to help my build it - yet i don't know too much about compatibility)
Credit to "badboyrog2" for making this list.
Thank you in advance!

This is quite close, cost wise, but you get a better CPU, for not much of a sacrifice on the GPU. Also chose a single stick of ram, so you can easily upgrade it to 16gb later.

This is great thank you for the quick reply. Will a 2gb graphics card be able to play CIV6 at top settings?
Also i plan to order it all today and put it together over Christmas, do i need anything like thermal paste or will that come included with the processor? (Software I can sort out)
Thank you again.

I would be happy to pay for both the 4gb GPU and the upgraded processor you suggested. (Looking at just under £500 total with both of them) (Will also buy the single RAM card you suggested)
Would this be a good final build then?
Really appreciate your help.
