So i got another build going for a friend, hes looking to spend £500 minimum, £700 max.
Build i put together quickly;

Any suggestions, changes?
What's the purpose of the build (gaming, video editing, etc.)?
For the memory, here's some cheaper equivalently performing modules [url]http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/avexir-memory-avd3u16000904g2cir[/url].
For the card, I recommend going for an R9 270 since, when overclocked, the performance difference between it and the X version is not really noticeable. Specifically I recommend this card: [url]http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-video-card-r9270gaming2g[/url] (which also has a better cooler).
Lastly here's a cheaper PSU that's still 500W and reliable: [url]http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-100b10500kr[/url]
I also recommend Barracuda over WD Blue if you can get it cheaper, because Barracuda is a bit faster than WD Black.
Wrote this late last night, meant to write gaming.
Yeah, ill suggest the changes to him, i did ponder on WD blue or barracuda, both good drives.
Thanks for your help
For gaming, I would really suggest an Intel i5 processor. The FX line of processors perform very poorly in gamign applications due to a reliance on single core performance, and AMD's shared workload cores. In your price range, you're looking at the 3350P [url]http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80637i53350p[/url] and a B75 motherboard like the G43 [url]http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-motherboard-b75ag43[/url]. It's a bit more expensive, but the performance gain is not negligible.
