Hello,

I'm looking for help on my first computer build, I'm wanting to build a budget gaming pc preferably using the Corsair 380T Mini-ITX case and an AMD CPU/GPU. My budget is probably up to and around £700 (that's Pound Sterling).

I've put together a parts list but I'm not entirely sure if all the parts are compatible and/or balanced...

Please bear in mind though that I am a student and thus I'm really rather poor...


Thanks a lot in advance,
Alex.




PS: I intend to play games such as Far Cry 3 on it if possible (I can currently run this game on my 840m powered laptop so I don't think this will be a problem).
I intend to use a TV as a monitor probably at 1080p.
I will buy peripherals separately... And I do not need an OS as I can acquire one through university.
 
Horrible build for the money. This would be far better, in case you didn't look at your other thread with the same question.

+1; this build is solid for a 711 quid build! Also, if you are poor OP, you wouldn't have 700 quids to spend on a build. :)
