Building a Battlefield 3 gaming pc for around 500€

[Andrei123]

I wanna use this for games like S4League , battlefield 3 ( not 4 ) and some older games

 

[Andrei123]

Ok so what about this :

CPU : AMD A6-3650 2.6GHz Quad core processor
Cooler : Antec Kuhler H2o 620 liquid cpu cooler
Motherboard : ASRock A55M-VS Micro ATX FM1 motherboard
RAM ( Memory ) : Kingston Blu 8GB ( 2x4 GB) DDR3 1600 memory
Storage : Seagate SV35 series 1tb 3.5 7200RPM Internal hard drive
Solid State Drive : A-Data Premier Pro SP600 32GB 2.5" Solid State Disk
GPU : Asus GeForce GT 610 2GB video card
Case : BitFenix Shinobi Window ATX Mid Tower case
Power Supply : CoolMax 300W ATX Power Supply
Optical Drive : Asus DRW-24B3ST/BLK/G/AS DVD/CD Writer
OS : Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) 64-Bit

Total price : 591.61 dollars ( 445.405€ pretty much )

What else do i need for this pc ?

That is not a very good build and that power supply is a complete POS.

Here are some much better builds in your price range.

AMD build:

Intel build:

Might link some others later. On my phone right now though.

Good luck

Hi Andrei,
Your PC is ...
First of all : FM1 socket is dead and the A6-3650 processor is an APU *Processor with integrated graphics*. Instead of the APU you can get a newer processor with socket AM3/+ or if you can not afford it you should go with the FM2+. Get instead the normal FM2 the FM2+ because they have future, soon AMD will do a new FM2+ processor.
Second : The 610 is a bull**** card. Only because its 2 GB you chose it, didnt you? I can write a book why you should not buy this card, so please do not.
Third : Why do you get 2 HDDs? 1 TB and 80 GB? 80 GB for boot? When you are installing the Windows you can just make 2 participles instead of spending money on another HDD.
Fourth : I said what i had to say about the videocard.
Fifth : If you buy that PSU... DO NOT BUY THAT PSU. Its not even 80+. 300W are not going to be enough for this sistem too.

There is the build that will kill your PC in Battlefield 4 :

CPU: AMD Athlon X4 760K 3.8GHz Quad-Core Processor (£59.71 @ Scan.co.uk)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler (£25.45 @ Scan.co.uk)
Motherboard: ASRock FM2A88X Extreme6+ ATX FM2+ Motherboard (£79.52 @ Amazon UK)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory (£60.55 @ Ebuyer)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (£42.99 @ Amazon UK)
Video Card: MSI Radeon R9 270X 2GB Video Card (£153.98 @ Dabs)
Case: Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case (£45.90 @ Amazon UK)
Power Supply: SeaSonic S12II 620W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply (£59.35 @ Amazon UK)
Optical Drive: Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer (£11.79 @ Amazon UK)
Total: £539.24

There you go. That build may max out the BF4. If you need more information tell me what you need on PM.

Don't blame me i'm barely 12 years old and never built a gaming pc xD
I'd like to pay a professional computer engineer to build my pc , i'm too scared too destroy the cpu blablabla ...
I might buy this pc in 3 years too as my mother doesn't have the money to get me one of these beasts right now , i might get it on my birthday though .
And it goes over 500€ ( 611.189€ )
I'm really limited to 500€

You might buy this PC in 3 years? In 3 years that R9 270X GPU will be a lot cheaper and same as all the other parts. I suggested finding a way to get an extra 40 quids for that build that YTeodosiev suggested as it is a BEAST for BF3/BF4.

Or i might buy it in 4 months
