Hey guys, this is my first ever thread on Tom's Hardware. Basically, I need a PC to play games like TF2, Minecraft, CS: GO,Portal etc on at least medium-high settings at 60fps. Not many graphically heavy games but the occasional one like Batman and Left 4 Dead although I wouldn't mind turning the settings down a notch for them. Ideally, I'd like the build under £400 without OS. I like this one a lot:
Pentium G3258 CPU
8GB Corsair 1600mhz RAM
1TB WD Caviar Blue HDD
Asus H81-M micro-ATX motherboard
Sapphire Radeon R7 260X GPU with 2GB GDDR5 memory
Ordinary ATX case
EVGA 500-B 500W PSU
Total price is around £360 .
Thanks for taking the time to help me with this thread.
 
Solution
try getting an h97 mb the h97 will elt you drop in the newer intel cpu with just a bios update. look at the r200 case it cheap and good. if you can look at 600-650w power supply. larger unit let you drop in a larger cpu latter on.
