N nano-frisbee Honorable Apr 27, 2013 2 0 10,510 Apr 27, 2013 #1 I'm hoping to build a gaming PC myself, but as I have been a console gamer all my life, I have no clue what I'm doing. So could someone just recommend some good parts? I have a starting budget of £300 and I already have hard drives and an OS.

You're better off saving for a PS4 at the end of the year or saving up more for a PC. Upvote 0 Downvote
