My First Build - UK build , 800 pound budget

Hey y'all, basically I'm planning to do my first build, but have no clue what I really need besides this...http://www.glhf.co.uk/ultra/74-glhf-2500k-oc.htmlas a template.

I have been told thats quite cheap for pre-built, but as always you can save money building it you'reself, you can learn, and then it makes future upgrades much easier.

Essentially my budget is £800 (but saving money WOULD BE NICE)

UK obviously - England

The PC I want to make, I want to last me a few years 3-5 (obviously I dont expect to be running games on High in 3 years), a PC that can run the likes of BF3 on its best settings, essentially the PC i linked but as good or better for my budget.

I do have a few things though...

8GB ram minimum

I want an OS (Windows7)

Harddrive 500GB would do fine but bigger is cool too

(Also I do design, so dont know if that needs to be taken into considaration)

Would be extremely nice if someone could sort me out a build and link me everything, etc.

Thanks a lot

xo

P.S. You lot will prolly see a lot of me here once I start building and needing help:D (although I think I may have found a shop near me that can build me up a pc from my parts for 50quid, but Id wanna learn

mh. well you could just go to ebuyer uk and buy yourself those exact parts as in the linked pc. thats not a bad pc for the price though, theyre probably charging you £100 to £150 to set it all up.

Its easy mate, iv never build a pc b4, ordered all the parts you see below + some other bits and it took me around 30mins to put it all together and turn it on (obviously i had to then install windows).

Get you parts from novatech or scan iv used both of these and never had a problem.

You may want to edit your post. I've heard that mentioning said site can get you banned...superclocked

thanks for all the help so quickly, keep the builds coming!:D

comes to £802

keep in mind that (assuming you already have a copy of win 7) you can download a cracked version for free that works perfectly from sites like the pirate bay. so if you already have a copy of win 7 which youve paid for but dont have the disk anymore, i'd do that and save £70 buying another one.

That prebuilt is bomb actually.
