You are spending too much on that hard drive, you could get a 500gb or even a 1tb HDD for around £45

Hey Ridwan19,

The specs mentioned are enough for a normal computing and gaming. But If you try to go for some proper gaming then you will need a better graphic card for the same.

I'm going to be using the computer for school work and gaming becuase i'm 14. Since i decided there is no point in buying a PS4. What do you mean by the phrase "proper gaming". Also, i'm planning to regurlarly update the components in the PC.

Damn, i accidently press the solved button. Sorry for the repost i'm kinda lagging

I think what he means by 'proper gaming' is the large titles like bf4 are not going to run that well on your pc, a PS4 will rund BF4 better than that pc.

 

[Ridwan19]

Well, i have my PS3 for big titles like BF4 and COD GHOSTS, and i will be upgrading my PC now and then. Will i be able to play games like Dishonored, Borderlands 2 without lag?

On your budget, its about as good as its gonna get.

 

[Ridwan19]

I'm not sure whether to get the Asus Radeon HD 6670 1GB or Gigabyte GeForce GT 630 2GB. Which one would you reccomend and where would be good to buy cheap OS?

 

[Ridwan19]

Also, i'm not sure whether to get the Corsair 4GB RAM or opt and get cheaper ones and spend the the extra money on a better gpu

 

[mf Red]

4GB is the minimum. Get a single 4GB stick and add in a 2nd when you can afford it. The GPUs are pretty low end. If you want to upgrade in the future you'll need a bigger PSU, 500w+ depending on what kind of card you get.

Should, i get 2x2gb or 1x4gb stick. What diference will it make? Also, what RAM brand shall i get and why?

 

[Ridwan19]

Anybody going to answer my question or shall i make a new thread.

 

[mf Red]

Sorry bud it was the weekend and I only answer these while at work 8) get 1 x 4GB so you can upgrade easily in the future with out needing to throw the 2x2GB sticks away. G.Skill, Kingston, Corsair, and Patriot are all good brands.

it won't make a difference really. sure the proc uses dual channel ram but RAM has little speed differences when it comes to MHz CL or run in single/dual channel.
