I know it's pretty impossible to buy a good PC for £300 (yes, I'm in England), but I know it is a little less hard to build one yourself. I think I would be capable of building a PC, it's just getting the right components that is the tricky bit. I don't know very much about computer insides, and am a little bit stuck. I have created a £302 computer on PCPartPicker, but am not sure how good it would be. I am not hoping to play very computer-intensive games on it, but want to play a few low specification games. I also want to be able to browse the internet (with lots of tabs open) with no lag, which my current computer, a 2009 Mac Mini, unfortunately cannot do. Here's my current choices:
AMD Athlon II X4 640 3.0GHz Quad-Core Processor £53.98
ASRock N68C-GS FX Micro ATX AM3+ Motherboard £35.99
A-Data Premier Series 4GB (1 x 4GB) DDR3-1333 Memory £28.05
Hitachi Ultrastar 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive £41.40
Asus GeForce GTX 650 2GB £97.76
TP-Link TL-WN781ND 802.11b/g/n PCI Wi-Fi Adapter £8.70
NZXT Source 210 Elite (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case £38.65
XFX 450W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply £34.99
Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer £13.15
And for now I'll use Linux operating system. I'll get Windows 7 later on.
Can anybody come up with a better specification computer for up to £305?
And is this one good?
Thanks.
