Hey guys. I'm going to be building a new PC for the first time in about 10 years and I was wondering if you could offer me any help or advice.
Basically, I'm going to be primarily using my PC for gaming (mainly BF4 but want the system to be somewhat futureproof too) and I've been looking at what I can get for around £250 that will be a fairly sizeable step up from what I have now.
Here are my current system specs:
Core2 Quad Q9400 2.66Ghz
6Gig DDR2 RAM
Gigabyte GTX 460 1GB
Gigabyte X48-DS4 mobo
Old as hell 250GB HDD.
650w PSU
I'm gonna purchasing new parts over two months and this month I'm going to be getting a cpu, mobo and RAM. For £250 this is what I have come up with:
i5 4440 3.1Ghz
Gigabyte GA-B85M-D3H Mobo
8GB DDR3 Kingston HyperX Blu 1600Mhz.
Next month I'll be buying a new gpu, though I haven't decided which yet so any suggestions would be welcome. Budget for gpu would be £100 max I reckon.
I'll be keeping my current case and psu as I'm pretty sure that these will be adequate for the new system.
What do you guys think? Eager to hear your thoughts, opinions and suggestions as I feel somewhat out of the loop with PC hardware these days.
Cheers
