Budget Gaming PC

[Abraham Amponsah]

Hi guys 😉

I'm looking to buy a pc for 300 dollars, which is around 220 euro's.
ive been searching a bit but none of the sites i found shipped to the netherlands.
So i would really appreciate it if you guys could create me a build that can be shipped to holland.
What also would be awesome if you guys could assemble the pc from mycom.nl, or amazon or any other site that ships to holland 😉

Thank you very much

EDIT: i dont need a hdd i already got a 1tb sata hdd

- Pardon me for my english.

Search the dimensions of your chosen Case and GPU from their given specifications on the manufacturers website to see if they will fit . All the connectors you need will come with the PSU

nzxt source 210 (VGA Clearance Maximum 230mm w/ hard drive, 330mm w/o hard drive)

XFX Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition Graphics Card (225mm)

What is a cheaper alternative for the ram

4GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 RAM: http://amzn.to/15EjmOe

 

[siddharthmukul007]

the cheapest would be corsair value series

My friend also told me the psu watt isnt enough cuz its 450w and the gpu requires 450w

 

[siddharthmukul007]

the gpu requires 450w and you have got 450w....that is enough.

Doesnt the cpu and other components use watt?

 

[siddharthmukul007]

sure it does...yours is a 100W processor

Hey guys i found this build.

AMD Athlon X4 750K Processor: http://amzn.to/16BboCC

MSI FM2-A75MA-E35 Motherboard: http://amzn.to/18gKQx8

XFX Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition Graphics Card: http://amzn.to/139Kfc6

4GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 RAM: http://amzn.to/15EjmOe

500GB Western Digital Caviar Blue Hard Drive: http://amzn.to/1bytfj5

NZXT Source 210 Case: http://amzn.to/13ZbiIR

430W Corsair CX430 Power Supply: http://amzn.to/18UZKsr

Is there another decent gpu for that motherboard that is cheaper?
And does the type of case i get matter?
and what do i gotta look at when getting the ram?
I also noticed this build has no cpu cooler, do i get 1 w/ the cpu?

thats what you should get for your money .Im sure you could find a GTX 650 Ti Boost which is far better than the 7770 for 140$. all cpus come with their respective cpu coolers. I'm pretty sure you took your build from here www.youtube.com/watch?v=3f6INgYBmGo.

any thing cheaper than that gtx card? from what i found it costs 140 euro 😛

 

[Abraham Amponsah]

sure it does...yours is a 100W processor

how can i run the cpu w/ a psu w/ 450w if the gpu already uses 450w, or am i just being dumb 😛

 

[siddharthmukul007]

that requirement is including the whole system with some buffer watts to spare.

a hd7770 uses about 100watts under load...so you will be fine.

do you know any cheaper alternative for that gpu?

 

[siddharthmukul007]

don't know if you will be able to find it....but this is the cheapest 7770

[Abraham Amponsah]

Actually the PSU is 430 watt will i still be fine?

What mobo spec should i look at when picking a graphic card

 

[siddharthmukul007]

when you are picking up a graphic card, look at pci-e slot speed of the mobo.


look at the highlighted selection: http://i.imgur.com/K4Sb5z1.jpg

what about the 430w psu, and the Hd 7770 is a pci 3.0 yet the mobo has 2.0 why is that gpu in this build

 

[siddharthmukul007]

psu will be enough.

pci-e gen 2 and gen 3 are compatible...you don't need to be worried about that

 

[Abraham Amponsah]

does the mhz of the ram have a huge influence on the performance?

 

[siddharthmukul007]

after 1600mhz....the difference is not noticeable.

XFX Radeon HD 7770
Crucial Ballistix Sport XT
Corsair Builder Series CX430
MSI FM2-A75MA-E35

Can anyone check if this will work please i'm too nubish

Great Build suggested above. It'll run more than $300 with windows, etc. You can't go wrong with it.

Here is an alternative for a $300 build. It's the approach I use. Find a used core 2 quad system in a mini-tower case and match it with the same HD 7770 for a lower price or stepping up to better video at the same price. This gives you a win7 license as well as a solid foundation to work from.

If you can build a new system you can take the risk of a used desktop - the parts are all easily swap-able.

I haven't bought a new PC or build from scratch for years, instead I go for refurb PCs and upgrade video (and if necessary power supply). Typically the refurbs I buy cost less then an equivalent CPU+MB+memory and come with case, psu, optical and hard drive, windows, etc.

Not saying the build it yourself approach is wrong or bad - it's better. It gives you control on the parts you use. It just typically costs a bit more.
