Hey Guys!

I'd like to build a new Gaming PC for as cheap as possible. My budget is £500 Max and to understand help you all understand I'd like to be able to play Elite: Dangerous at a decent level (30-60fps with a nice level of graphics (not minimum, not maximum)), I have 2x 1080p monitors already as well as a Samsung EVO 250GB SSD and 2x HDD's. So these can be left out of the build.

Hopefully someone can help me!

Thank you!!
Matty

I changed your build : Powercolor instead of MSI which is cheaper
XFX XTR 650 instead of Corsair CSM 650 watt , XFX XTR has much much better build quality than the CSM at the same price

Yours are worth compare to mine.
 


If it is cheaper, I don't see why you would not go for it!

You think we could get this any cheaper? Possibly down to £400? I'd be willing to sacrifice some. Elite: Dangerous doesn't require as high specs as I originally thought..
