New Gaming PC Build - Need Help Trimming Down Cost to sub-£700

[ben631]

Hello, I am looking to build a gaming PC in the next few weeks and will soon be ordering the parts. The only problem is that my budget is around the £700 mark and as you can see below, I have well exceeded that price. I would like to trim down the cost of my build, however I would still like to be able to play games such as: Skyrim, LoL, Minecraft, Diablo 3 at max settings. I really need your guys help because I only have the most basic knowledge of computers, thank you in advance to all the people that help me out!

coolmaster elite 430 case is around £35-£40, with case fan, you need a extra one on the back though, try getting a cheaper motherboard but that is all you can cut without losing performance. Try getting a gigabyte or asus mobo to as i dont really like asrock.
