Hi, i've been looking at Amazon and websites like that for parts to build a gaming pc within my budget of £700. I've seen other peoples posts but im not sure if this is a good system or not. Many people have said not to buy an i7 but to spend more money on a better graphics card (But its a massive improvement over my acer aspire e5-571 which wasn't that bad but couldn't play most games). If this helps, these are the games that i would be playing on the pc:

GTA V/ GTA V Online
Overwatch
Scrap Mechanic
Gmod
Lots of other games
Also i will be doing some video editing and video creation (after effects)

These are the parts i have been looking at for a gaming pc (All parts are on Amazon):

If gaming is your priority, then Intel is still the best gaming cpu. A little over your budget but should play those games pretty well.
