Need first PC advice

[Agathor]

I haven't got a huge budget and I really want a decent gaming rig. So do I get a i3 4170 and gtx 750 ti now and upgrade GPU later, or get g3258 and gtx 950 and upgrade CPU later? Or consider AMD?

What is the budget, for just the PC, with OS?

 

[Agathor]

£370 max without os. Looking to spend around £200 - £250 on GPU and CPU together.

You will want a current gen setup. You can upgrade storage and such later.

Thank you so much, that's better than what I was getting, not to mention more modern

 

[Agathor]

I was just browsing through the stuff you put up and even on pc part picker i couldn't find that RAM for that price.

 

[logainofhades]

Looks like the price went up, on that ram. That is the one thing I do not like about Amazon. Their prices fluctuate way too much. This is the closest I could find, price wise, for 8gb. While you lose some performance, going with single channel memory, it will allow you to go to 16b, later on, without having to buy a brand new 16gb kit. Just buy a matching stick later.

Thank you, that brings it back into the price range. Will i need a wireless adaptor (can't use ethernet cable) or does this motherboard already have a wifi thing?

 

[logainofhades]

You will need to buy one.

 

[Agathor]

That's fine, I have budgeted for one.
