Budget Gaming PC

[adamhn]

I was wondering if this is a good budget gaming PC for £450:

CPU: AMD X4 860K
CPU Cooler: Artic Alpine 64 Plus
RAM: Ballistix Sport 8 GB Kit DDR3 1600 MT/s
Motherboard: Gigabyte AMD FM2+ A68H
GPU: MSI R7 370 4GB
PSU: Corsair VS Series VS450 450W
HDD: WD Blue 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 6 Gb/s 64MB Cache
Case: Thermaltake Versa H15 M-ATX Windowed

That is not bad for the price. You should be able to play most games on medium settings @ 720p.

Honestly unless you got a taste for strategy games, for 450£ a PS4/XBO would give you a better experience imo...

Also that PSU is junk, aim for a Corsair CX450M or a Seasonic S12ii-430/520

I did pick a more expensive motherboard,but i think that the features like the better audiochip are worth it.
Case can be your own choice.
For up to 1080p is 2gb of vram with gpu's like this still enough imo.
The four thread dual core cpu is better than the four core amd you chose.
This system has a good upgrade ability->go to i5/7 in the future if you feel the need,upgrade to a better gpu,add more ram etc.
