I am planning to build a desktop gaming PC, could I have a list of all the components that would be good.

my budget is £500 (Excluding monitor, OS, Speakers, keyboard and mouse, etc...), preferably 8 GB ram but 6 GB is ok. AMD preferably. Air cooling.

I'm just asking the community cause I know next to nothing about what to buy and what is good when building PC's, thanks!

Here.
You should be able to run:
BF4 at high-ultra @ 60 FPS.
Crysis 3 at high @ 55+ FPS,
GTA V at ultra @ 50+ FPS and
Watch Dogs at medium @ 50+ FPS (Watch Dogs is a really demanding game).
All the best. ;)
