For 500 pounds that system is pretty terrible value.

 

[sladeyboy]

He wanted £350 for that. But my budget is about £500

That FX CPU is long in the tooth, and a bit anemic when it comes to performance.

you'll get more for your money used, agreed... but you still need to be selective.

This build is new, and a little over budget... but it shows what you get, new, for your money:

Yes, this is tweakable. Adjust to your hearts content by following the link and playing around with it. It will either warn you or not let you choose something doesn't work at all.... just as WildCard999 did.
