Hello,
Looking to build a gaming PC on a budget primarily to play Total War games (Primarily Rome 2 and Attila) and wanted to get decent FPS on the higher graphics settings.
My budget is around £700-800 for an overall build. That being box, monitor, keyboard, mouse.
I saw the below and liked the specification as I have heard the new i3 processors can be quite good in a budget build.

I changed the spec slightly to the below coming out at £705
i3 Aurora (AUR1)
FRACTAL DESIGN R5 - RED DECL
Intel Core i3 6100 - 2 Cores - 4 Threads @ 3.7Ghz + 3MB CACHE
CPU Overclocked To Approx 4.4Ghz To 4.6Ghz
HEATSINK/FAN For CPU Included To Cover Overclock If Applicable
ASUS Z170-P - USB2.0, USB3.0, SATA6 + M.2
CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB DDR4 2666Mhz
1TB SEAGATE SSHD - SATA3, 7200 RPM 6Gb/s + 64MB Cache
SAMSUNG 24X DVD+/-RW Dual Layer & Dual Format
AMD R9 380 4GB PCI-E 3.0
600W PSU - FSP 80+ SILVER - 88% Efficiency (Mid/High Gaming)
WINDOWS 10 - 64Bit Inc DVD/Licence
Total Price £705.19
I tried building the same spec on uk part picker and it came out a little higher so it seems like a good deal.
Any advice or guidance on a better or cheaper build would be greatle appreaciated.
Thanks
Rich
