I want to build a gaming pc waht coponents should a use?

justsomeguy33 · Jun 16, 2016

My budget is £300 and some of the games I like to play are TF2, CS GO, Minecraft, skyrim and BF4. I'm fine with 1080p low settings or 720p high settings but it has to get at least 45 to 60 fps. This dose not need to include peripherals or OS.

300GBP is likely too low.

320 is about as low as I can see for 'viable':

An AMD option at 300GBP......far from the best, but gives you an idea of what you can do with the budget.

You would benefit substantially if you can increase your budget to 400 or so.

the first build you mentioned, if I where to over clock the GPU would I need a higher wat psu.

Barty1884 · Jun 16, 2016

With the 750 ti? No. The 430W PSU is already giving over 200W headroom vs what the build could use at max draw. You won't be able to OC it enough to reduce that 200W+ headroom significantly.
