New Gaming PC Build

Hey there fellow geeks.

Going to add my question to the many 100,000's of other questions like this out there on the internets: I'm looking to build a mid-end gaming PC on a fairly low budget. I'm looking at spending £400-£500 in total and my ultimate goal is playing Planetside 2 with 50+ fps with as high a graphics setting as possible. Diablo 3 too but i don't have the game yet but plan to in the future.

I'll also be buying my parts off eBay and/or Amazon based on price as I'm only a student haha. So, here's what I've found so far:

CPU: AMD FX 8320 Black Edition, 2*4MB L2, 8MB L3 Cache, 125W (8-Core x 3.5 GHz) ~£105
Motherboard: (see below for my thoughts on this)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 2*4GB (8GB) 2133MHz DDR3 (might get 2 of these, so 16GB) ~£85
Storage: Western Digital 1TB SSHD with 16GB NAND SSD (HDD part is only 5400RPM, is this a problem?) ~£55
PSU: Fractal Design 500W, 80 plus Bronze, Dual Rail ~£38
Case: Fractal design Core 1000 ATX Midi Tower (too small? depends on motherboard) ~£30
GPU: open to suggestions based on price and performance. was thinking nVidia GTX 780/970 but they are kind of expensive (~£200-£280), but you do get what you pay for in graphics cards so it might be worth it if it doesn't get slowed down by the rest of the hardware

Open to suggestions of change if it benefits me in performance or cost, of course. I've made PC's before but I hate having to budget it as it's always a hard decision to make compromises. Just want to make sure I'm doing it right.

As for the motherboard, I need one which supports the AM3+ CPU and also that supports 2133MHz RAM, or is the RAM speed not really an issue due to the graphics cards on board RAM (wanting 3-4GB GDDR5)? A question I've heard contradictory answers to.

Many thanks for taking the time to read this. Looking forward to your replies on what you think

EDIT: Willing to pay up to £600-£650 in total if it's worth it in performance.

 

For a low end HDD, I'd go for a SSD for the OS 128 GB for the bare minimum:

I know that isn't an EU site, but it is recommended. But, not at my standards, which is not what you want.

If others could chime in.....

If you are willing to spend more, I'd go with:

Thanks for the advice theefool Think I know what I'm going to do now, and I think I'll try and get the SSD you mentioned (the first one due to budgeting reasons) from a UK site. Probably the 256GB one as I seriously doubt I'll need more than that for hard drive space, there will only be games on this thing got a laptop for all my music, files and other stuff that has a 1TB HDD.
Thanks again
