Hello guys, I just wanted to ask what build/rigs would be good enough to play games such as League of Legends/ 4Story/ Crossfire (espically this one) or any one of latest games, on high quality settings. Possibly Intel or AMD processors. My current budget is around £300-500, can increase depending on the type of rigs i need. This will be only used for daily gaming and nothing else. And is Windows 7 Pro or Ultimate better for gaming?
 


and what Graphic card would you suggest for MMO/FPS games?
 
Let me fix this around a bit, you can get a FX for less and not stress the budget. The FX 6300 is a 6 core for around 99$. But, like all AMD cpus, it suffers from single core performance. When you buy hardware you need to think about upgrades. I think that AMD for budget is a wonderful thing. Games are slowly getting closer to using more cores.

You could also go the Fx-8150 for around 200$, it has 8 cores. This is a REALLY good cpu for a budget build. Again more processes are moving into multi core use.

For the GPU get the R9 270x it's a good GPU.

Here's the 8 Core at a low price: http://starmicroinc.net/-p-2877.html?gclid=CjwKEAiA2dSkBRCX8KmK5YrFviwSJACeYweCkqUyZEEMtXAbxDPEr-lEM4WLmq9NKOKyZD_paOC4fxoCC5Hw_wcB

r9-270x: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/used/1016506?gclid=CjwKEAiA2dSkBRCX8KmK5YrFviwSJACeYweCkzNXtuLQ6q9gcnaR6ZKOGQqrNYHXhoCBrfTl5nfv4xoC_9fw_wcB
 

2nd Gens have been said to be prone to heat issues. Regardless of the cooling. Plus, I was putting it out thier, just as a suggestion, I personally would go for teh 6 core.

 

Problem, the i3 is dieing, for now yea it's fast, but the faster we advance the faster it will go. If he's going for intel, then a i5 would be the best option.
 


something like https://www.cyberpowersystem.co.uk/system/Ultra_AMD_Silent_GT will do the job i guess? for the future purpose as well?
