I had been thinking about building my own rig and I have asked a similar question to this here already but I wanted to be sure. I found this pre-built PC http://www.palicomp.co.uk/gaming-pcs/INTEL-Haswell-i5-Commander.html that I think is a good price for the sum of it's parts. I just want to be sure that this can play games well at high settings and I was wondering if anyone could give me some examples. I was thinking of doubling the SSD size which would add £30 to the price. If anyone knows of a better rig I could buy or build for a similar price please tell me. Thanks a lot, Joe.
 


I'd pay the extra poundgage for the 650 unit at least. My preference would be the XFX. I would Google the various options they have and try to pick the best value mid to high end model 600 w or better.

What if I add £40 for an FSP 600W PSU?

Solution

Never heard of FSP... Go with a Seasonic 620W power supply or a XFX 650W power supply.
