Hi,

Could you help me with a £500 build for a gaming PC?
I will upgrade it within a year or so but just want something to use relatively quickly.

I won't need:
Monitor
Keyboard
Mouse
Operating System

So the £500 will go on just the components and obviously PC case.

Thanks! :)

How much more would the i5 4950 cost?

Thanks!
 


It amazes me how people recommend such awful builds just to boost their ego.

This person is spending REAL money. If you don't know what you're talking about don't post, as you'll waste their REAL money if they listen to you.
 

Hi,

Did you mean to miss out on the PSU?
