Best budget build?

[diddle283]

Hey,

I'm looking to put a very cheap build together for gaming.

I only need the following parts: CPU, GPU, mobo, ram & PSU

I have around £250 to spend maybe a little more.

What is the best I can get?

Thanks

is an r7 260x worth the extra cost in that build?

 

[PepitoTV]

while the 260x is more powerful than the 7770 Ghz, that difference should go to the CPU, with that money you can get an FX 6300 that's noticeably faster than the Athlon.

It is worth the extra cost although the CPU is also important.
