Decent £400-£500 (Maybe go £600) gaming/graphics PC?

To be honest it's starting to look (to me at least) like you're going to have to stretch your budget a bit. If you're building new rather than upgrading then you're sailing pretty close to the line unless you go for the £600 mark.

I found that, yeah:/ Well, a PS4+7Years PS+ would be about £630, so I guess I could push it upto about £650, seeing as an OS is not required. I've been looking at CPU's mostly, and found the new(er) Haswell i5-4670k is about £155 at the minute. Its cheaper than the 3570k, and as OC'ing isnt going to be huge if any, I guess it'll be better choice. I am aware the Intel wins on Gaming, and the AMD on streaming but most key, who wins in C4D rendering and PS? (Graphic Design) Apologies for any mistakes/Re-asked questions, im on my phone:/

An OS definitely IS required... good luck getting any modern games to run on Linux.

 
If you're wanting this as a gaming rig, stick with Win7. Win 8 isn't especially gaming friendly just yet (although BF4 uses some DirectX stuff that's only available from Win8 I've not had any issues with it being shiny on Win7!)

Ah, okay. I'll have to see what version he can get first, if he can only get 7, I'll get 7 and vice versa :)
