jackattack987 0 Posted July 10, 2013 Depends what it's for and what your budget is It's for gaming and my budget is around £400-£1000 but this costs £488 Quote Share this post Link to post
mitch 457 Posted July 10, 2013 Are you looking at pre-built or building yourself? Also will you be overclocking? Quote Share this post Link to post

mitch 457 Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) I would recommend this: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/1fdV3 -AMD are better than Intel when it comes to budget CPU's it actually isn't far off the performance of an i5 and it's much cheaper -Cheap but good MOBO keeping potential to overclock because IMO you should cause it's so easy to do and can increase performance drastically -550w +80 bronze PSU will be more than enough for what you're doing and it's great for the price (I have it and I've OC'd etc and only use about 450-500w) -Cheap and quality case (Again I have it and recommend it) -Great GPU, best available in that price range This should run all modern games on medium/high settings Edited July 10, 2013 by Guest Quote Share this post Link to post

HoneyMuffin 0 Posted July 10, 2013 I'd go with what Landshark suggested, aslong as you don't get a mac. Quote Share this post Link to post
