Gaming PC, I have no idea what to get

Hardware Hub Build a PC
1

Well, I have been a console gamer for quite sometime, but now I would like to give PC gaming a shot (planetside 2, DayZ and such). 

I have no idea about all the compouter components, graphics card and all the rest of it. 

So, my Budget it around £600, that £650 would be pushing it really. This money will be spent on the system only, i will buy the monitor and other things later on a different budget. 

So all you good people out there, What is the best gaming pc that can be build with this money? I want to be able to play games like planetside 2, farcry, battefield dayZ and all those good games. 

Now im not saying i want to play them at maximum graphics and everything, medium would good i guess. 

 

But yeah, Please give me links to different components or what you find best for this budget!

 

Thanks in advance, hope to hear from you shortly!

Edit: My current PC is this (from dxdiag)

System model: G31M-ES2L

Processor : Intel Core 2 CPU 4300 @ 1.8GHz

Memory : 4096MB RAM

Display card (video card): NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS integrated RAMDAC, approx          total memory 1648MB.

Can i run DayZ with my current system?? Thanks again

Could upgrade your motherboard, cpu, and ram to higher end stuff now. Then upgrade the GPU later on.

you can get an operating system for free and the build i made you is way better

This is really good for the money you could also go up to a 7850 for a little more or down to a 7770 for a little less

Thanks for your time.

Is that all the system requires to run now? does it come with a free operating system?

so all i need to do it put the parts together and boot?

 

Thanks

It is just under 65o pounds but it puts better parts into it. AMD is fine, but when overclocking, under heavy load, or using a good GPU, Intel is better. AMD is a great choice for super budget builds, and the 8350 is nice, but Intel works better with nVidia. AMD works better with AMD GPUs, and so on. An alternative would be this: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/xqkL

Sorry I went over, but these both are better than using a 660ti or 7950. The optical drive is a bit pointless aswell, but if you want to install via disk, you will need one. If you take the optical drive out, it puts the total cost around

Hope I helped!

Cheers,
