With the recent death of my beloved 60gb ps3 I've decided to make the move into the PC gaming relm
However I'm on a very tight budget I already have a case HDD DVD drive etc all I need is a GPU CPU and a motherboard
As I'm very tight for money I was debating trying the Xeon 771 to 775 mod found here http://www.delidded.com/lga-771-to-775-adapter/
I was going to do this with a e5450 and a motherboard off eBay which would total about £50 so my questions are
1) would the mod be a good way to go or would it be worth going for a cheap i3 or something
2) would it be a good idea to save about £40 and get a partially used gpu? I'm set on the r9 270
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
