Obviously this is mega budget but I'm quite surprised how cheap you can build a decent rig with plenty of upgrade options.

I see many AMD APU build around this price but this blows them out of the water.

But it would add around £20-30.. still... I agree haha.

Just wanted to see how cheap I could build a decent rig for. Got mad browsing ebay and seeing these "4GHZ ULTRA GAMING PC - PLAYS ALL GAMES"

Then you look at the specs are they are piece of crap PSU, and and AMD A8 APU. Feel sorry for the unknowledgeable folk that will buy these thinking they can max out Battlefield 4!

I admit defeat! Wow nice job. Not sure how I missed that memory either?!

What you think is the performance difference between the 260x and 750ti?
