quick easy computer build

[andrewnelson351]

I would like a computer that is able to run games (that have recently came out) on low-medium settings at 1080p. It needs to be around 500 - 600 pounds. (600 will have to include os and keyboard and mouse and possibly a headset)

For about £500, how does this look?

This will be a very nice PC that will do any game at high, some on ultra. I did have an i3 so you could be under $600 so you could get keyboard/mouse but with this i5 you will be able to support any current gpu with no bottlenecks:

[filippi]

Nice.

 

[andrewnelson351]

What card is better nvidia or amd

 

[PizzaTheHutt]

What card is better nvidia or amd

It depends - AMD in general, offers bang for buck and is more low/medium end whereas nvidia is in general suited for high end applications due to price, but have better performance.

 

[andrewnelson351]

Ok thankyou for the answer

 

[PizzaTheHutt]

No problem. Glad to see that I could help

 

[filippi]

MSI Radeon R9 280X w/ a EVGA 500W is kinda risk...

But good luck anyway

Yea the 600b would be a far smarter choice.
