    Desktop PC need one

    Hi, :)
    I am looking to buy a desktop PC under £650 any suggestions would be wonderful ^_^

    I would like to be able to play games on it (nothing to monsterous) and use it for graphics i.e. be able to use it for photoshop + C4D

    Those are my only requirements any suggestions would be brilliant! Also I live in the UK and am not willing to buy anything abroad due to shipping.

    It would be hard to find a decent (new) desktop for £300.. but this is what I found:
    [£39] Motherboard - ASRock 960GM/U3S3 FX AM3+ AMD 760G SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX
    [£114] Cpu - AMD FX-8150 Zambezi 3.6GHz Socket AM3+ 125W Eight-Core
    [£95] Graphics card - SAPPHIRE Vapor-X Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition 1GB 128-bit
    [£19] Memory - G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) [Or you can get 8gb ram for £29]

    Totals to £267. Assuming that you already have an hdd/power supply/case you can save £33..

    Since you increased your budget I found a good intel build (I would only recommend buying an amd build if your budget is low, but that's not the case anymore). It could run anything on ultra and overclocks extremely well, but you'll need decent cooling.

    [£145] Cpu: Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4000
    [£196] Graphics: MSI N660 Ti PE 2GD5/OC GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
    [£25] Power supply: RAIDMAX HYBRID 2 RX-530SS 530W ATX12V V2.2/ EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Modular Power Supply
    [£25] Case: Rosewill REDBONE Black SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
    [£70] Storage: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive (Can downgrade to 500gb western digital caviar blue and save £26)
    [£37] Memory: G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory
    [£85] Motherboard: ASRock Z77 Extreme4 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

    Optional (If you want to overclock the cpu):
    [£19] Cpu cooling: COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus "Heatpipe Direct Contact" Long Life Sleeve 120mm CPU Cooler Compatible Intel Core i5 & Intel Core i7

    Totals to £585 (£603 if you want to overclock the cpu). Should be everything you need.

    Edit: I converted the prices from newegg (Unfortunately they don't ship outside of the u.s.), however the price difference from whatever shop you buy from shouldn't be an issue.
