[Build Ready] First build for gaming. Would appreciate someone taking a look over it.

Since you're using Amazon, check out Flubit. You won't get Prime delivery, but you will get around 10% off.

I assume you know you're build will be £531 at least.

Also, that PSU will struggle. It's not very efficient, and the load is very close to its maximum. Get the Antec True Power Classic. 550W, Gold, and a fantastic model.

With this in mind, I've made some suggestions. Take what you want from them. Just my opinion.

  • Better CPU and motherboard, that you can upgrade later.
  • More RAM, that is also faster
  • Cheaper HDD
  • Better PSU
