Chananater wrote I have a budget to build a PC of about 470.00 GBP Maximum.
The only peripherals I need is a keyboard and mouse. I have created the spec below and wondered if it was good and if anyone has any advice on it.

Corsair Obsidian Series 250D Windowed Mini-ITX Performance Computer Case - Black
Intel Core i3 4130 Dual Core CPU
Asus H81I-PLUS Motherboard
G-Skill 8GB Ripjaws X DDR3 2133 Dual Kit - Red
GIGABYTE NVIDIA GTX 750Ti 2GB PCI-E Graphics Card
WD 1TB 3.5 inch Internal Hard Drive - Caviar Blue
Corsair Builder Series CXM 430W Modular 80 PLUS Bronze
Cooler Master CM Storm Devastator Mice and Keyboard

I can get all the components above for 468.63 GBP.

The reason for the higher MHz RAM is that its cheap and future proof, even though the H81I-Plus only supports 1600MHz

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

You'll notice next to no difference(if an, at all) between 1600MHz and 2133MHz RAM.

This build is similar to the one you're looking at;

If you purchased that, you'd then have 50 to spend on a keyboard and mouse of your choice.

Thank you very much I guessing the GPU that is in your spec is better than the 750 Ti?

Yes, the R9 270X is a better card than the GTX 750 Ti. However, if you wish to save a little money, you could purchase the R7 265. It also is a better GPU than the GTX 750 Ti.

Im pretty much sold with the R9 270X, would an AMD rig be better? If so could you spec one up for me?
