I want to build a budget gaming rig for 350 British Pounds max 300 preferable because I got some PC components originally but I don't think I will be able to complete it due to running out of cash unexpectedly. I already have a case and graphics card (Radeon HD 7750 Sapphire Edition). I want to play next gen games on at least medium settings but I don't mind turning down the settings to low. I want to get a quad core CPU so that I can play games like Dragon Age Inquisition or the Witcher 3.
For the cpu for this new rig I am thinking of the AMD FX 4300 unless there is a cheaper CPU with quad cores. I am debating between the FX 4300, the FX 6300, and the i3 4000 series the one with the quad cores. Also will my graphics card handle next gen games or is there a cheapish one to get within the budget? I am thinking of the GTX 750 Ti but I am open to both Radeon and Nvidia. For memory I will get 8gb of ram and a 500 watt PSU for my 7750. Then a normal internal hard drive. 500gb should be plenty methinks. I have less on my laptop.
So to sum it up here are my chosen specs so far:
AMD FX 4300,
8gb DDR3 RAM,
HD 7750
500 watt PSU
Also the main thing I want to ask is if anyone could reccomend me a motherboard that is compatible with AMD CPU's because I do not know as much about that as opposed to Intel CPU's. Is my rig good enough to handle next gen games? The main thing I want is a quad core processor and a good graphics card. The rest is up to you guys within budget though.
Cheers and many thanks in advance!
