Hello, I've been posting several pc builds to get your opinions and here's my latest. I live in the UK so that limits the places I can get them from and my budget is sub £500. This pc is from Fierce PC and is £494 (PERFECT) but because I'm no PC expert do tel me if the components work well with one another and on a game like BF4 and Far Cry 3 what graphis settings am I looking at. P.S if anyone has had experience with Fierce PC do tell me if they are good.
Thanks.

lol mate, then if you think it looks good, here is the same parts list in UK money

(The link now has UK retailers, not NA)
so, now that you agree building your own is much better, and apparently much cheaper Total: £301.90


You are far better off building your own PC. You will get so much more for your money.

It... has a whole lot of issues with it. It's also probably $100 more than what you could build it for yourself.

Can I ask why you aren't interested in building it yourself? You would get a far more powerful computer for less money, with more reliable parts and better balance. (For example, this thing uses an APU, who's whole selling point is that it has semi-decent integrated graphics, with a dedicated GPU, turning the APU into no more than a cruddy CPU.)

Hmm this was the thing I needed advice on, the link for the configuration is this http://www.fiercepc.co.uk/budget/cobra-gaming-pc/
Could you possible choose a processor that doesn't do what you said (I have no idea)
P.S. I'm too nervous to try even after watching guides to building a gaming PC (I dont mind upgrading though)

Why are you nervous, and is there anything we can do to help calm your nerves? Seriously, building a computer isn't difficult, it's like legos for adults. Everything goes in one spot, and can't fit anywhere else, so it's hard to mess up. It's a LOT harder to break things than fear-mongers might have you believe... and the entire process only takes three hours or so your first time.


It's something that I did at 12, and I was an incredibly clumsy teen - you would be fine doing it, if you can get your head out of your way.
