Ok I think I'll probably do that, thanks for the help.

also thoughts on this monitor vs the one you recommended http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/9fvZxr/asus-monitor-vs248hr ?

fair point, would it not be worth stretching a bit for a gpu though? I was under the impression that even though source is cpu heavy a gpu is still a pretty bid deal. also I think i would prefer not to buy an ssd anyway unless you would strongly recommend buying one, i can't see myself needing it, especially at that price.

Edit: I mean i could drop the ssd but not buy the gpu till a few months later when i can maybe afford it

How can i change the cow mangler ammo thing to be a number instead of a bar? or is there a hud that does this already i can use.

Would it not make sense to drop the ssd for a £100 graphics card?,I thought an ssd was unnecessary with the budget as it only helps load times or am i being dumb?

£500 is roughly $660 for reference, i would guess 144hz is way out of the picture on the budget side.

I'm going to uni at the start of october and would like to have a desktop sorted before I go, I also don't really know anything about builds.

My budget is about £500 including a monitor but pretty much all I care about is stable 150+ fps on csgo and tf2. I'm not really interested in running AAA games on good settings, (running overwatch well would be nice though but not as important to me).

Any help appreciated

Does anyone know how to change the item quality borders in the backpack back to how they were pretty gun mettle? At the moment the quality border only shows when you mouse over the item but I would prefer it to show all the time.

I have tried removing the backpack panel.res from my HUD folder but that didn't fix it.
