Hello, I was looking at some threads trying to find a good gaming build for £600-650.

I found this one but I am not sure if it will run next gen games like Watch Dogs and The Crew. I don't want to ultra them but I am looking to atleast play on high with 60 fps. I have read that intel CPUs are better than AMD but am not sure what to believe.

If anyone can suggest a build that will work for next gen games and fit in the budget I'd be very grateful 😀

Get corsair h100i if possible. (it will increase 40 more pounds than your budget). But this too, will be good

Dude
I'm completely confused
Wait a minute
Your title shows the value (600-650) in pounds
But when I go to pcpartpicker link that you gave price is in dollars
What's your budget exactly? Dollars or Pounds? It makes a hue difference

The PC part link I linked was from another thread and it was in dollars. I want it in pounds please as I live in the UK. I was just using that link as an example for parts.

That's a super expensive graphics card costing nearly 2/3 of the budget, are you sure the other parts aren't cheaped out on?

Overall that comes to like £670. Is there no way to bring it down a bit to like £620? I've also heard a lot of people say that the Nvidia cards perform better than the Radeon ones.

Theres also no cooling on the build. I would think that a build like that shouldn't run on stock cooling.

And about video cards, Nvidia and amd both are good brands in my opinion. Its on you. Even I personally think that nvidia just is a bit better than amd in some points like power consumption or perfomance. But just a bit and just doesn't matter that much. This is a great build and will run almost all games at almost ultra

Hope I helped
