Looking to build a Gaming/ Streaming PC as at current I'm using a Acer Aspire V3 771G Laptop.

Budget is around £500 but this is flexible. This is for the systems, i have Keyboard/ Mouse/ OS/ Monitor.

Games: DayZ, CS:GO, Arma 3, Watchdogs, Battlefield 4 etc. With games playable on high settings.

Overclock: I do not wish for this build to be overclocked.

CPU: Intel i5 (preferably)

RAM: Between 8GB-16GB

Graphics Card: nVidia (preferably)

SSD: A reliable SSD for OS and a few games (probably 128GB)

HDD: 1TB

Case: A good solid gaming case with good ventilation which looks nice.

PSU: 500W upwards Corsair?

Any questions please just ask.

+1. OP, I would go for a power supply manufactured by XFX or Seasonic. Corsair's CX series tend to use poor capacitors.
