Hey guys/gals

I'm looking to purchase the parts to my new computer today, considering it is black friday >:D

Some information you may want to know, I live in the UK (Northern Ireland)
So please try to keep it to UK delivery if you can :]

I will be using this computer for just gaming, i dont care about max graphics as long as they are better than the lowest you can have :p

I play -
-World of Warcraft
-Battlefield
-Diablo 3
-World of Tanks
-etc

Basically most MMO's and only a couple of FPS games.

Other than games, just basic youtube while playing the games haha :p

Please lets try and help me come up with the PC im looking today while everything is on sale :']
Cheapest you can find that will suit my needs :]
People say intel is the dearer brand, so i dont really care if it is AMD or Intel

I dont need keyboard, mouse etc.

I need a case and everything that goes into that case and i do not need windows :]

Thanks for reading
-Lee

I play battlefield 4 quite rarely on the lowest graphics i can, but i play it from time to time, i spend almost all my time playing WoW / listening to music on youtube, id like to be able to play wow in mid with no fps lag, lets focus around WoW since it takes up most my time.

Max im willing to spend, considering it is black friday, can we try to get it for £350-£400?

Well,everything in that rig is fine except for the graphic card,if you want to play WoW on medium I'd say get a hd 5850 card on that rig and you should be good to go.You'll also need a powersuply unit to power that hd 5850 as the one that comes with the rig you posted is bad.get a 80 plus bronze 500 watt PSU,any will work fine.

Also you can upgrade that gaming rig by getting gtx 760 and a 550watt bronze powersupply 80 plus and http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Hyper-212-RR-212E-20PK-R2/dp/B005O65JXI this cpu after market cooler for ur cpu and overclock ur cpu to 4.0 ghz and you should be able to play any game that will be released for the next 5-7 years on low.and you can even play battlefield 4 on high/ultra mix with that graphic card too.

You can also upgrade your graphic card to a r9 270x,its a cheaper alternative although it's not as good as gtx 760 but you should be able to play WoW on ultra or max settings and all the upcomings games for the next 5 years on low minimum

Are you joking? That rig is a piece of crap, its got a Athlon X2! Putting a gtx 760 in that is madness, it would be so cpu bottlnecked!



To the OP:

Do not buy that pc!

Give us a budget and we can suggest something good.

Rob,if you read what he needs,He only wants to play WoW and its a black friday deal.So he's getting a discount on that too.What's the problem when he only wants to play WoW,World of tank etc the games that don't require much cpu power.

Because depending on the budget, he could get a better pc. For around 300 you could get a half decent system with a APU.

And the included graphics card is worse than the graphics you would get in an APU. You say he could add a gtx 760, but that would be a pointless waste of money as the Athlon X2 would bottleneck it like crazy....

To Rob, i gave a budget up a few posts ago, since its black Friday, if you can find some cheap parts that will do what i need and ill put together the pc myself, or maybe a cheap comp that is setup already for £350-£400
