Guys, my dad and I want to build a custom gaming PC.  I don't know what parts to choose.

You may be wondering what my budget is. I'm not sure as I don't have much money but I will save up. I'm thinking of getting the Intel Core i5, and 8GB of RAM, so I guess the budget is close to what you'd pay to get something with those specs.

I won't be playing extremely graphically intense games. It'll mostly be Kerbal Space Program, Blockland, Lego World and other games (I may get TF2, LoL aswell).

Oh, and the PC may be going under my bed (It's a cabin bed so there's lots of room under there), I may need a large fan.

One last thing, my dad wants to mount the monitor on a wall, so if the monitor could be HDMI, wall mountable and cheap (I'm not rich)

One last last thing, the motherboard will need some kind of Bluetooth as I will be using a wireless keyboard and mouse, but I will need some USB ports.

i have no idea what im doing

Here you go:

3.2 GHz i5, 8GB RAM, 120GB SSD, 1TB HDD, GTX960, 24" monitor and a Bluetooth dongle. Tell me if I've gone overboard and I'll try to make it cheaper.

Thanks. Since I'm British, and don't want to pay import taxes I'm gonna re-find everything on the UK website.
Thank you very much for the build! I will consider it.

EDIT: I can't find some of the things on the site.

No need, wireless keyboard and mouse come with usb dongles.

I recommend against wireless for gaming, though. I used to have one, sure, it's handy... until the mouse starts acting up in the middle of a game due to low battery. The keyboard battery lasted forever, but mouse died surprisingly fast

It's not ideal for where the monitor is going to go.

Also, some of the parts Pentium listed aren't available in the UK :(

Bluetooth stuff doesn't always necessarily come with dongles though. Unless it's just typical non-Bluetooth wireless in which yeah they will.

Like which

The only keyboards I've seen advertised as actual Bluetooth is stuff meant for tablets which may not have USB ports.
There's no reason to specifically need Bluetooth for a desktop PC that can have anything plugged in via USB

An entire life time of poor performance and excess power draw. :(

I don't know man, AMD is pretty good for me i don't know what you mean.

[Alyx Vance]

AMD never stuff out on me

I switched my MC server from my mini ITX rig with pentium dual core at 3.5 to my big server with an AMD 4100 at 4.1 GHZ and its loving WWE super slamming it around the room

How come this prebuilt is cheaper, but equal specs to my custom?

[shitlord]

because manufacturers buy in bulk and make their own components?

If you go with that prebuilt, get a better GPU because the 705 isn't gonna be very good.

Because the 'GT 705' in the description isn't a typo and does not mean GTX 750
