Need a £450 Gaming PC Build, don't need anything in terms of monitor, keyboard and mouse.
not looking to overclock and not bothered about aesthetics or anything like that.

Thanks!

Your best option, hands down, if you can manage a little over budget;

If you need it £20 cheaper, look for a GPU for £140-£150 or so. You can find GTX 780/780Ti, R9 290(x)/390(x) and GTX 970/980 at that price point sometimes if you look in the right places. At worst, something like a 280(x), or 380(x) would be a nice buy for around £140. If you do this, check Gumtree, Reddit, and eBay.

Thanks, that looks great.

One thing, is there possibly a different place i can get that motherboard for the same price? the cheapest one on Amazon for £47 says it will take 1month-2months to be dispatched and kind of want it before then. If not maybe a different motherboard?

Also it seems the Crucial Ballstix Sport LT 1x8GB has been discontinued on the cheapest site and i really need to be the cheapest it possibly can when its already over budget a tad so anychance on replacing that also?

Thanks
