Okay so I'm looking to buy a new PC I need to game and to do my college work, if someone could build one to meet my criteria that would be great!
The Criteria:
Thats it really, as I dont need any extras (Keyboard,Mice ect)
I'd also appreciate just any good builds that fit the price range thanks
The Criteria:
Price range: 500-900 GBP
CPU: Intel i5 or i7
RAM: 8gb or 16gb
Hard drives: I want a HDD and an SSD
Graphics: Nvidia (I'd prefer like a 750 or higher)
All the other parts can be chosen by you, I don't care for brands or what not you guys know better than me
CPU: Intel i5 or i7
RAM: 8gb or 16gb
Hard drives: I want a HDD and an SSD
Graphics: Nvidia (I'd prefer like a 750 or higher)

"I don't care for brands"
"Graphics: Nvidia"
The irony is real. We'd need to know why you need an i5 or i7? What games will you be playing? What monitor are you using? What "college work" will you be doing, would you even benefit from an i7 or 16GB RAM? Will you overclock?

I don't need but thats what I would like, I said i5 or i7 cause I have been told that i5's are better for gaming but i7's are better for Graphics
At the minute I play a variety of games and I plan to buy more in the future which is why I want to get a good PC with the money I have as Minimum required specs are always rising!
I do graphic design at college so photoshop and cinema 4d will be used alot!
Monitor:
I may not benefit from them rn but its always good to prepare for the future if I have the money to!
No I don't plan on overclocking

You can add another 970 in SLI if you wish, but you'll need a PSU upgrade to do so.
You could get this unit;

You'd have to swap the 2TB HDD for a 1TB HDD, or swap the 250GB SSD for a 120GB SSD to afford the 750W unit within budget, but it'll allow you to add another 970 without upgrading PSU.

4C/8T CPU. Essentially an i7-4770 without the iGPU, but cheaper. It will help with design work. More so than extra RAM, which you can add later anyway, if it will benefit you.
