Hey everyone!

So i'm abit stuck at the moment, I need a cheap PC.
I was going to get a PC that would be able to run CS:GO at 200fps (Average) but i've gone off Counter Strike.

So what i'm look for is a custom built PC in the price range of £400 to £500, i'm from the UK by the way, that can run the likes of WoW, LoL, HoTS and Hearthstone at a good steady FPS.

Thanks.

Better PSU made by Seasonic , 2X4 memory modules for dual channel mode and a different board a H97.

"NZXT Source 210 Elite (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case has front panel USB 3.0 ports, but the Asus H81M-E Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard does not have onboard USB 3.0 headers."
"Some Intel H81 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Haswell Refresh CPUs."

What will i do about that?

Thank you. :D
 


That's a great build but please, if you pick this one, change the power supply! The Corsair CX series of power supplies use poor capacitors; I would recommend an XFX 550W power supply or a Seasonic 520W power supply.
