Hi /g/, I'm looking for a little advice or what not. So I've been wanting to build a gaming pc for a while now and my budget is around £650 give or take £20.
Is this a decent build? Or, could I change a few parts for a cheaper price but same performance? Any input would be great.

use the CPU cooler that comes with the CPU and why the fuck do you need a sound card??

When you can OC i5-6400 to 4.4Ghz the same as i5-6500, the price is all it matters

Arent those only specific motherboards with a specific bios though? Updates will kill the ability.

You can manually change bios if needed.
My link has the mobo I'm using.

The 1.5 is one you need and flash it via usb stick.
