Gaming PC For £600!

[Alex1092387456]

Here is a gaming PC for £600!

Graphic: http://i.imgur.com/tlQvnQ2.jpg
Specs: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/m8QLjX

Price without sound and wireless cards and optical drive: £562.32 and OS: £492.33.

Alternative motherboard is the LE 2.0, although it has only 4 pin ports, heat sinks, and isn't meant for overclocking.

Alternative GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 750Ti.

Contrary to popular belief, you only need a 430-500 watt PSU, not a 600w one.

I will be building this in the weeks to come.

build seems good except the psu

you cant run r9 270x on cx450

you need 550w ..

also .. gtx 750ti isnt a good alternative... 270x is clearly superior to it

Really? I've used half a dozen calculators and they all say that a 450 psu is fine.

a quality 450w psu will probably manage it. but its kinda borderline. better safe than sorry.

calculators are not always accurate or take overclocks and future upgrades into consideration

Do you mean its faster? Maybe. I wouldnt say it was superior. ;#}

i mean powerful...

 

[blacksheep123]

Probly. But the 750 would help keep the power supply size down, as would the i3 or i5. Both use less power than the 6300.

i agree abt the 750

but abt the cpu.. 95w tdp is standard for an i5 too dont you think?

 

[blacksheep123]

Haswell 84w minus igp when running graphics card so about 70w.

oh, i didnt knew haswell used power that low...

i would still give the 6300 a break though since its a 32nm arctecture while the haswell is 22nm

it should be equaly compared with a 32nm sandy bridge ...

 

[Alex1092387456]

Sorry, my bad

A 500w PSU should be enough.

 

[Alex1092387456]

It isn't semi modular.

 

[Alex1092387456]

Hope you enjoy it

 

[blacksheep123]

No, it should be fairly compared with what is on the market at the same time.

but they have different architectures,manufacturing process.. also released on different dates

also intel i5 is usualy expensive and a 6300 can easily reach that level if overclocked
