Over the last few weeks I have looked at computers and components because I have decided to put together a simple gaming computer for around £400-£500. I slightly understand some parts but on a whole I feel lost. I Have managed to put together what i believe to be an ok computer but as i have said i have no idea what I'm doing. I would love any and all opinions that could be given and any improvements that could be made without increasing the price to much (unless the improvement is major).
