Budget Build Challenge

[Autizmo]

I'm gunna save up over a while and possibly sell some old stuff I don't need any more to reach around £1200 HOWEVER I want to build my pc for £300-500 and it should be able to run most modern games on medium or higher setting AND be SFF.

Have fun, and may the best part finder win!

Oh. Then go with the build I chose above your post. It will smoke any other build listed above.

If he plays games such as ARMA his FPS will suffer with that CPU.

fx-8320 is waste of money look at some gaming benchmarks i3 beats fx-8320 most games and in games that fx-8320 win it wins only for about 2-3fps

 

[Autizmo]

fps wise im used to xbox 360 so as long as its 30fps and up im happy 😛

 

[TheMagicalWallaby]

No it doesn't... The GPU, PSU, and case isn't available in the UK right now.....

This is a VERY good build for the price.

I checked online and they are.

 

[TheMagicalWallaby]

After you CHANGED it..

No, the original parts are still available and I was referring to those.

no i dont need an os as i have one

If you're talking about a used disc I doubt it will work as you will need a Windows key.
