Here is a gaming PC for £600!

Graphic: http://i.imgur.com/tlQvnQ2.jpg
Specs: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/m8QLjX

Price without sound and wireless cards and optical drive: £562.32 and OS: £492.33.

Alternative motherboard is the LE 2.0, although it has only 4 pin ports, heat sinks, and isn't meant for overclocking.

Alternative GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 750Ti.

Contrary to popular belief, you only need a 430-500 watt PSU, not a 600w one.

I will be building this in the weeks to come.

Alex :wahoo:

Really? I've used half a dozen calculators and they all say that a 450 psu is fine.

 


calculators are not always accurate or take overclocks and future upgrades into consideration
 


i mean powerful...
 


oh, i didnt knew haswell used power that low...

i would still give the 6300 a break though since its a 32nm arctecture while the haswell is 22nm

it should be equaly compared with a 32nm sandy bridge ...
 


but they have different architectures,manufacturing process.. also released on different dates

also intel i5 is usualy expensive and a 6300 can easily reach that level if overclocked
