Hi everybody!
Im looking for some advice on getting a cheap cpu mobo combo to use with my current spare HD6870.
I am building a small cheap light gaming PC to set up in work. I have a XFX HD 6870 gpu and some other bits and bobs and I cant decide on a very cheap but tolerable cpu/mobo combo.
Im looking at buying a Fractal Design Core 1000 Series Micro ATX Case,
8gb of 1333hz ripjaws (because they are a good bit cheaper than the 1600 on Amazon.co.uk at the mo)
and a Corsair Builder Series CX 500 psu.
I was thinking about the AMD FX 6300 but as good as it is, I feel like it is too expensive for the rest of the build and not necessary...
I already have a pretty good gaming PC at home (i5 2500k, HD7970, 16gb, SSD, etc) so Im not looking to upgrade this 2nd one, its just for playing Battlefield 3/4 on med settings in work.
So, I just need to think about a cheap but sufficient CPU and a motherboard to go with it, to play battlefield and do some light photoshop work.
Any help is really, really appreciated.
Thanks,
Ian.
