All prices are from amazon, looking to build something on very tight budget (£500-£550) which can handle quite alot for the money. Just want clarification if this is a decent build. Also if I ever wanted to crossfire another card, what Mobo could possibly be better?
CPU: AMD FX 6300 Black Ed - £83.81
GPU: Saphire Radeon HD 7770 1GB Ghz Ed - £77.36
Mobo: Asus M5A97 R2.0 - £63.91
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 1600mhz CL9 - £64.99
HDD: WD 1TB 3.5 inch Internal Hard Drive - Caviar Blue - £43.54
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - £25.77
PSU: Corsair Builder Series CXM 500W Modular 80 PLUS Bronze - £46.72
Case: CiT Vantage Mesh Gaming Case - £35.99
Optical Drive: LiteOn IHAS124-04 24x SATA Internal DVDRW Drive - £12.99
OS: Microsoft Windows 8 Standard 64 bit OEM - £74.12
Total: £529.20
Thats everything! Anything else that maybe could be improved within the same sort of budget constraints and also mobo solution for crossfire options also welcome, Cheers!
