    Trying to make a part list for a HTPC, need advice please

    Can you return it? This PSU is extra small and should not have any problem 12,5cm x 10cm x 6,2cm (5x4x2,5) http://pcpartpicker.com/part/fsp-group-power-supply-fsp30060ghsr

    Crossfire gives a boost in fps depending on game but never even near to double performance. It is waste of electricity and makes more noise and heat. A single GPU is better unless you want to play on 3 monitors or on very high resolution like 3k. The GPU you show is terrible for anything more...

    Good gaming rig on a £400 budget?

    No it does not, it uses 100% of the GPU on a r9 270x toxic.

    Good gaming rig on a £400 budget?

    Yes the dual core would be enough but an i5 is better. If you have a case and a PSU you can get an i5. BTW what PSU do you have? PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks CPU: Intel Core i5-4440 3.1GHz Quad-Core Processor (£128.15 @ Ebuyer) Motherboard: MSI H81M-P33...

    Budget Gaming PC Help?

    If you can get the optical drive, OS and maybe the case it would be good. This is without OS,optical drive and 1x4GB because you can add the same RAM later if you have money. With the old case and maybe HDD you can get under 300£. PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant /...

    The Xeon is better and can handle multitasking better since it has HT for your photoshop or other programs that you might use later. A GTX 760 is more than enough for normal gaming and has a good amount of cuda cores for programs that use it, photoshop too I think.

    Can i turn this computer into a decent gaming rig?

    Option A) within the 100$ budget after mail-in rabate. You could overclock your CPU to 3.0GHz and use it with the stock cooler if the temperature is ok and then it would be good. PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks Video Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition...

    Can i turn this computer into a decent gaming rig?

    A GPU is the best option but the PSU should be changed too and you overclock your CPU to 3.2GHz or more but you would also need a cheap cpu cooler or buy a second hand Intel Core 2 Quad. How much could you raise the budget? Maybe you can go with a GPU, PSU and a slight overclock if you cant get...

    The GTX 760 is enough for your needs and it has also good cooling. Why is there an AMD phenom and an external drive in the list and no internal drive? Changed RAM to dual-channel for around 10% more performance and added a good cpu cooler which is not that expensive and also very quiet ( you...

    Should I buy this for gaming?

    Pre-build no idea but you could buy the parts and let a friend build it or go to a computer shop that can do it for a decent price and you should get a better system for the money.
