CPU: AMD FX8320 Black Edition 8 Core = £109

Motherboard: MSI 970A-G43 AMD 970 ATX Motherboard = £47

RAM: G-Skill: 8GB Ripjaws X DDR3 2133 Dual Kit = £61

HDD: Western Digital 1TB internal Hard Drive = £43

PSU: Corsair Builder Series CXM 500W Modular = £53

CPU is a waste since its on a dead socket.

PSU is really bad quality, which I wouldn't trust in any PC of mine.

I'd personally take out that GPU and slap an R9 285 in it.

Whats your planned budget though?

Well, you're gonna need a case.

This is better;

Add an SSD when you have a little more money.

Go with Sanctyy's, its pretty much the same build I was going to post. Also, what is your case you're going to use.

Need to know what case you're re-using, it may not be worth it. If your current case is fine, you could maybe grab a 120/128GB SSD, if you swap the PSU for a cheaper one and don't mind going little over budget.

That's only if your current case is decent enough to re-use. Also, what else do you have in your current system? May be able to salvage other components, such as RAM, HDD, etc.

Keep your case, and you could keep that HDD for games, and just get an SSD for boot and programs, then later on down the road drop a 1TB in it.
