£600 Gaming Build: Opinion's Required!

Get rid of the AMD,also a SSD would be good if you want to go to a gaming build.Also,what kind of graphics card are you going? But the AMD proc. must go!

The AMD processor is fine. The intel equivalent for the price most likely has "Pentium" in its name! The 8320 isn't much more expensive though.
The psu is kind of an overkill, 500-550 watts would be enough, you don't need an aftermarket cooler if you're not overclocking but the 212 evo is a good thing to have. Don't bother with SSDs unless you have a huge budget. Overall it's a good build.

You can save a bit more on the RAM, then pick up the 8320 as already suggested.

Could consider swapping to a 760 too.

CPU cooler.

You should ask this question at reddit.com/r/buildapc/ they helped me get the absolute most bang for my buck last year.

Don't expect the amd processor to be a speed demon just because it has 6 cores. It will be good for rendering and video processing/decoding. Its gaming performance will be that of a higher end cpu. Dont expect intel performance out of it, but it wont be a bottleneck. I would also look into an ssd. It will have the most visable increase in speed in all aspects of your computer, focusing mostly on boot times and downloaded games. They are insane.

just my 2cents

If you haven't purchased any parts yet then do research over the course of a couple of months. I saved over a 100 USD on my build last month by getting good deals on a couple of parts shopping around on ebay and amazon's used listings. Just be careful if you're willing to do that.

Secondly, good job on picking some good parts that aren't too pricey. (Though your currency value is different from ours somewhat, so I'm entirely sure just how cheap this is in USD!) My build last month was an Intel-based build and I probably could've saved more by going the AMD route, but I got such a good price on my i5 that I decided for sure to use that as the base for the rest of the build. Although, it wasn't the 3570k that I had my eyes set on for the potential overclocking a few years down the line, so that's a bit of a sting. Still, any i5 or AMD equivalent (power wise, not price wise) will be excellent for gaming for years to come, I believe.

Your 72000RPM HDD is fine. My HDD is low RPM and very annoying at times. My older, smaller capacity 72000 RPM drive runs a lot better than this newer hunk. An SSD would give you a noticeable improvement especially if you got one with a large enough capacity to hold games. Load times would be amazing, but even just a small one for the OS and programs would be nice. Don't go for it if you don't have the money, though. It's more a luxury than anything and isn't required.

Everything else you have looks great. Very on par with my build price/performance-wise, yours may be even better by a bit. I wouldn't worry about cooling so much if you're not overclocking, but good airflow in your case is still of importance, so keep that in mind when you're building. And since you don't have a lot of experience I'd recommend checking out as many videos as you can on putting together a PC and installing other hardware. Helped me a lot with my first build.

Again. Don't just settle for retail prices. Shop around. It certainly helps with your wallet crying.

Having built my gaming PC just recently and having ton hours upon hours of research, here are my thoughts:

• Get an Intel processor. Do not be fooled by AMD's speed and number of cores; Intel processors perform better on all benchmarks. Don't take my word for it, go look it up. Like in this review for the FX-8350 (an upgrade over the 6350) that states verbatim "Costing the same and providing up to 30% performance advantage over the FX-8350, the Core i5-3470 is a far better choice. We simply can't recommend the new FX-8350." Or look at this post where one guy even says his "biggest regrets" is buying AMD over Intel.
• Also, gaming for the most part uses at maximum 2 cores. It'll be several years before using 3 or more cores is the norm.
• A good CPU heatsink does a better job keeping things cool than a better case fan. That being said stock case fans can be noisy so if you are looking for silence then replacing that is a good idea.
• Speaking of cases, I suggest taking a look at the CoolerMaster HAF 912. Plenty of space and ventilation, runs quietly (so-far), and has a false wall to keep cables out of the airflow and looking tidy.
• If you do decide on Intel processor and you want to overclock you'll need to get a processor ending in 'k' like the i5-4670K and a motherboard that says Z87 or some-such in its title.
• If you can afford it, adding a SSD drive, even a small one to house just the OS, greatly speeds up the computer.
• Everything else looks good to me.

600 hundred pounds, holy crap! I think my computer weighs less than 50. (hue hue hue)

That looks fine to me. You don't need another fan.
