Looking for budget-PC Build to play World of Warcraft, Call of Duty, Diablo 3 and League of Legends.

[Woutor2]

Hey there, I'm currently looking to find a good build for my first custom-built PC. I would like it to be able to run games like World of Warcraft, Call of Duty, Diablo 3 and League of Legends smoothly. My budget is around £360. I already have a mouse and a keyboard. (I also prefer a flashy-looking but still practical case, if possible). Help is very appreciated!

What settings would you like to play all those games on? Do you also have an OS or no?

G-Skill 4GB Ripjaws X DDR3 1600 Dual Kit (2x2GB) £28.20 Amazon uk
SAPPHIRE AMD R7 260X 2GB GDDR5 £85.00 Amazon uk
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (£35.94 @ Aria PC) - same, good price.

Now, that will be over budget, but not by a "huge" amount, Defiantly worth the extra for what you pay, trust me.

 

[andrei65]

Well this isn't competition i was just updating my first build really ^^

EDIT : Are you sure that 430w is enough for the build above ?

Estimated wattage is 334w , mine is 198w so the cx430 is enough for mine but are you sure for yours ?

Andrei's build looks like the best for the budget and the 260x will run all those games you listed on high settings.

 

[unknownofprob]

Well, Andrei65 just changed a few things in my parts list, and I took some from his.

Yes, 430W is enough.

 

[andrei65]

I did not change anything besides the gpu because it wasn't on the gpu list , i made the exact same build to know if 430w is enough because the 260x is quite hungry xD
Anyway ok , i didn't know it was enough

CPU and Motherboard*

 

[andrei65]

which build are you talking about ?

 

[unknownofprob]

FX 8150

 

[andrei65]

It's literally the same build , and i did that to know if 430w was enough for it

[unknownofprob]

it is enough, though you have to avoid overclocking due to poor capacitors.

 

[andrei65]

i'm not the author of the thread you know

 

[unknownofprob]

I know, hard to word it without spending too much time thinking
