CooZ3 · Feb 26, 2014

Hey guys I am new here. one of my m8 told me I can get help from here. I am planning to build mid level gaming PC with around £350 budget but I am not sure where to get cheapest price also need a bit help for choosing specs. I don't need harddisk, o/s and dvd writer. If is necessary I go up £50 more I guess. *** personal info removed by Moderator *** if anyone have some sugesstion please respond here.
If anyone can help I will be very grateful. Thanks

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/30Ed2 This is slightly over, but will give you great performance. You won't get ultra, but you should be able to run most games on med-high.

I would get the above is you can spend the extra 20.

Made changes to above build to get closer to budget.

ahmedkhalifa1999 :

Not a bad setup at all. I didn't pay attention to the fact that a case wasn't in the build I modified.

ewok93 · Feb 27, 2014

Yeah, that's a nice setup, but I wouldn't go for a dual core.

ahmedkhalifa1999 · Feb 27, 2014

ewok93 :

he can upgrade to an i5 in the future if he wants

ewok93 · Feb 27, 2014

It's better to not upgrade, though. I would get a cheaper case and a better CPU personally.

ahmedkhalifa1999 · Feb 27, 2014

this is about to be the cheapest case

ewok93 · Feb 27, 2014

Huh... Prices on cases are high in the UK, that's odd. They're half the price here in the US.

TwistedFury · Feb 27, 2014

The currency is different there...

ewok93 · Feb 27, 2014

I understand that. 31.79 pounds is 53 US dollars.

750ti instead of r9 270x????? The r9 270 non 'x' walks all over it:
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/geforce-gtx-750-ti-review,review-32889.html

The first 2 amd builds are far superior gaming builds for 350£ the reviews dont lie

but with the case they will be over budget (both builds don't have a case)

con635 :

Did you not read the other comments in the thread at all?

con635 · Feb 27, 2014

logainofhades :

Yes and I've just reread, what have I missed?

ahmedkhalifa1999 · Feb 28, 2014

con635 :

the first two builds are without a case so if we got one they will be over budget

con635 · Feb 28, 2014

It clearly states it the op that the budget is £350 and 'If is necessary I go up £50 more I guess', I think the extra £30 is well worth it for the 270x.
