Hi, I'm looking to build a pc for the first time, and I have 0 experience or knowledge on building one. I have a budget of around £500-£600. I was just wondering, do you think these parts will run a game like Overwatch well? And have I got everything I need or something I do not need? Thanks
CPU AMD FX-6300
MOBO ASRock 970M PRO3
GPU Gigabyte GTX 1060 3GB
RAM Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB
HDD Seagate 1 TB
CASE Rosewill Dual Fans
PSU Antec VP-450W
 
Solution
You'd do much better with my quadcores i5 + RX480 build.

The XFX XT as I recalled wasn't manufactured by Seasonic as most of XFX line-up are, but from their lower-end Hydence factory.
8GB RX480 doesn't provide as good price-to-performance as 4GB ones especially when you aren't going to be able to CrossFire them.

The Fractal Design Core 1100 is just not very good if you want to use powerful graphic card with it.
Supports Graphics cards up to 350mm in length may be installed. One or more 3.5" hard drives may interfere with side-mounted power connectors on graphics cards longer than 170 mm
...
CPU coolers up to 148 mm in height
...
Front: 1 - 120mm fans (included is 1 Fractal Design silent 120mm fan, 1200 RPM speed)
Rear: 1 - 92mm fan...

Don't build an AMD build today. They have no relevant processor until March 2nd

Thank you for replying and you're help! Sorry to ask this It's my first time building a pc and I have practically 0 experience with pc, but I want to make sure I'm getting the most out of my money. I can afford both of the pc's listed to me, but which one do you recommend? Thanks!

Rear: 1 - 92mm fan (not included)
Side: 1 -120mm fan (not included)

Versus the CiT F3:
Up to 4 x 120mm fan, (2 x LED fans inc)
...
Max. VGA Card (Length) - 315mm
Max. CPU Cooler (Height) - 160mm

And its 3.5" HDD bay will not interfere with long GPU like the Core 1100.

Few things I'd like to note due to some changes in availability and pricing since my last post:
Swap the MB to the Gigabyte GA-B250M-DS3H (£67.85) because the MSI B250M-VDH has unfortunately been sold out since (and is more expensive than the DS3H where it's still available)...

The ASUS RX 480 4GB is back ordered at Amazon and will be back by March 9th. The MSI RX 480 4GB Armor OC is available at the same price if you want to get the build now.

Get the bigger 550W CXM (~£10 more than the 450W ver) if possible; purely so that you don't have to think about whether your PSU would provide enough power or connectors for any upgrades possible with the build.
