Case - Corsair Carbide - £75.50

PSU - Xfx Proseries 850w - £90.50
[Image: 599356-484537-800.jpg]
Couldn't find a better quality image
Motherboard (If you want AMD) - Gigabyte G1.Sniper A88X - £79.98

Motherboard (If you want Intel) - Asrock Z77 Pro4 - £76.49
[Image: 361734-398389-800.jpg]
The only major issue with this motherboard is how the ports aren't color coded, so you might get confused over the sketch of 'what-goes-where' but it's easy to remember
RAM - Corsair 8GB DDR3 (2 at 4GB) - £85.49
[Image: 497798-509505-800.jpg]
GPU - GTX 760 2 GB VRAM - £209
[Image: 496265-520366-800.jpg]
2 GB is good to have because almost every game uses up a whole gigabyte on textures
Hard Drive - Toshiba 1TB - £44.99
[Image: 473939-393828-800.jpg]
Total = £661.96
This is my preference if you're going to exceed your full budget.
My setup is similar and I haven't been due an upgrade in about 5 years.
Regarding whether or not you want Intel/AMD, Intel is renown by the majority to be the go-to platform for gaming. However that doesn't mean AMD isn't able to achieve the same abilities. Personally, I haven't used any AMD products before, and installing fans onto the chip-set on an Intel motherboard is one of the worst pains I know. You need to have pinpoint accuracy, and even so, you're gonna struggle to get all four screws properly in place.
Intel would be more beneficial though, regardless.
