Hi, I was wondering if anyone could look at this list of components please?
I have a budget of about £300 maximum (but I am willing to spend a little more if value is good) and plan to play games like Battlefield 4.
I've not built a PC before (as you could probably tell) so I don't know everything about building a PC and choosing components.

CPU: Intel - Pentium G4560 3.5GHz Dual-Core Processor (£52.47 @ Ebuyer)

Motherboard: MSI - B250M PRO-VDH Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard (£66.96 @ CCL
Computers)

Memory: Kingston - Savage 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory (£73.34 @ CCL Computers)

Storage: SanDisk - SSD PLUS 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (£48.75 @ Amazon UK)

Case: Thermaltake - Versa H15 MicroATX Mid Tower Case (£31.88 @ Ebuyer)

Power Supply: Corsair - Builder 430W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply (£39.97 @ PC
World Business)


Thanks in Advance

Love the G4560. The integrated HD630 graphics is quite decent. Not so much for fast action shooters, but likely ok for most other types.
Good plan there.

On the ram, buy a 2 stick kit for faster dual channel operation.
That is particularly important for integrated graphics performance.

If you ever want to upgrade, better buy your 16gb kit up front.

Love the ssd only approach.
But, your 120gb ssd is likely too small. Better to buy 240gb . Many things want to go on the C drive.
I would buy Samsung evo for performance and reliability.

430w will support a card as good as a GTX1060.
The quality of the old corsair builder series is suspect. New ones are better.
They are not dangerous, but are prone to failure. Corsair has a good...

They are not dangerous, but are prone to failure. Corsair has a good rma process; I have had to return two.
If you can, buy Seasonic which is always good. The S12II units seem to be on sale.

Two first time builder tips:

1. Buy yourself a #2 magnetic tip Philips head screwdriver for assembly.
2. While waiting for parts, download and read the case and motherboard manuals cover to cover.

Would be great but the price is over his budget . Especially if there are 6 days left, which leaves plenty of time for bidders. Shipping is expensive too!
*I'd recommend second hand too!!
