Hello there! I'm just wondering if anyone could possibly build me an pretty good reasonable Gaming pc for 380-470 pounds, no higher, No lower.
I just want to be able to play MOST games around at an medium+ graphics.

If you could build one and post the link here i'd really appreciate it! (If possible please make it an intel processor since i hear they're better than AMD)

Thanks in advance.

Have a look at this, its the best i could think of with your budget:

Dont go for intel at this price range, AMD is much more bang for your buck. Especially with the great LLano APUs, as i was able to fit in a discrete graphics card to work in hybrid crossfire to give you better performance in games.

Hi, do you need monitor and keyboard/mouse or is the budget just for the tower?

No monitor is required, Or an mouse, Possibly an keyboard but not anything special and don't worry about it if it costs alot, I dont need an OS either as i can get my own, Thanks.

going to be a push at £470 for and Intel gaming system

this is what i came up with for intel
http://www.cyberpowersystem.co.uk/saving/show.aspx?id=460208
or an amd system
http://www.cyberpowersystem.co.uk/saving/show.aspx?id=460212

the amd system has a Nvidia 560 SE which will play games on medium.

For your budget i would go for the Amd System.

Both those look great! Thank you so much, I think from your recommendation i'm going to go for the amd one, But i just have an question for you, Since it only has The standard cooler in it, would it over heat? Thats the only thing i've been worried about building computers that it would possibly overheat when attempting to play games.

the cooler will be fine, but you could drop to a 550ti, and add a tx3 cooler if that would give you peace of mind, you will still be able to game on medium.

The only thing that i was slightly bothered about is that on the AMD one, at the side where it was showing the power supply, It said that the required (Suggested) was 650 but it was only on a 500, I mean i know nothing about computers but i just want to be 110% sure Nothing goes wrong with any of this, i really appreciate your help.

if you drop to the 550ti and add a tx3 then the 500w is fine and saves you a few quid.
