Buying/Building a Gaming Computers

[MrBraderz]

So here's what I've build: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/MvZD99
My question is: is there a prebuilt gaming computer out there that is better than this one but for around the same price; £350?
Thanks

no pre built will be better than that pc. Also with prebuilts they tend to come with crap psus just to cut down cost

Use 2 x 4 gig of RAM

Hey outlander! Thanks for replying to another post of mine ^.^
So you said to use 2x4Gb instead of 1x8Gb? Why is that? I never thought there was an actual difference on which you go for?
Thanks

Thanks for the fast reply. And yeah I know prebuilt computers are pretty terrible, the reason I asked is because it's near Christmas, we have had Black Friday deals, cyber Monday deals, soon it'll be Christmas deals. But i know if there was a prebuilt better than mine, it'll probably be better in one place but even worse in another if you catch my drift!
Thanks

i get ya, also here's the pc i would build on your budget http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/wazero/saved/7nbPxr with that you'll be able to upgrade to a fx 8320/50 in the future and so far this gen of games have been preforming very well with multi core cpus. Also don't worry about getting 2X4 gbs of ram. While yes it would preform better if you have to spend an extra 5 for it i say just get 1 x 8 gb of ram and then another in the future

So, seeing as your the cpu expert and I'm definitely not... Do you think I would need a cpu cooler? Because if I don't then I could try and bump my budget up to £400 which means, if we're going off of your build, I have £70 to spend in something better, or more of something, or save it for games...
Thanks

the stock cooler is decent you can over clock your cpu to 4.2ghz with it but i wouldn't go higher than that. also here's the new build http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/wazero/saved/KdBBD3
