    Hey, I am really struggling at the moment. I am hoping to build a gaming pc for Christmas. My budget is around 600 euro and I am confident in buying the parts and building the pc myself. My main problem is with finding somewhere to purchase the components as everywhere I look they just seem over priced. It would really help if someone could think up a build for me in this price range. My main priority for this pc is gaming, I would like to play GTA 5 and some battlefield on this pc. I also want the ability to do some editing on this pc but that is not the main priority as I don't want all my money blown on a CPU ( it would just be an extra)
    Any help would be great thanks ! :)

    What do you think of an r9 380 4GB instead of the gtx 960?

    A little slower, but can be overclocked up to speed

    They all seem to give less fps than the r9 380 ?

    Also is there a reason for using a micro ATX board or will an ATX one do ?

    Really? Go 380 then, I'm not fully up to date on the 300 series, the 280 is slower so I presumed the same.

    No reason, bit cheaper I think, if you want a full ATX go for it. mATX cases tend to be a little cheaper

    The 380 also has more vram at 4gb. I might also go with an ATX just to get the two extra ram slots incase I want to upgrade later. What ATX would you say would go well with this build ?

    Any H81 or B85, you don't have budget to stretch to a featured packed board, so they're all pretty much the same
