£700 Budget Build

[1theredeagle]

I have managed to get £700 ($1100) for my budget, but that is the max I can spend. I have picked out most of the specs I like and want to check with people who know more than I do. If there is anything you see that can be replaced for less amount of money than do say. I will be recording games on higher settings with high frame rate.

as your system has no ssd and one hdd, you need it to be at least wd blue or better black... but not green
