Right so i've been wanting a gaming pc for a while now, and all i want it for is downloading movies/songs, to play minecraft/tekkit and other basic games. So i've gone onto PcSpecialist and customised my own pc which has come to a hefty £602!!
All i want to know is, is this pc the right one for me? Can i decrease the price in anyway? or have i missed something?

I have chosen an AMD CPU because after doing some research i've found that they are much cheaper and better at playing some games than an Intel CPU, Also... i've chosen a 650W power supply because it's only around £6 more than a 600W.
Thanks, Jack:)

this is £606 but will be much better for gaming as the GPU is a fair bit higher

Thanks for your help mate:)..
I can see that you have changed the CPU from 4300 to 4100, i know that makes it cheaper because of performance etc. but, do you think that there will be a noticeable difference?
i don't care if there is a small difference in performance because i won't be gaming 'to the extreme'.
anyway, thanks again:)
