Good budget gaming build?

marraAU · Nov 8, 2016

Hello,

Could someone please look over this build? I want to make sure that the PSU is reliable and it is a good build overall.

Thanks

You don't need such an expensive motherboard, so I have changed it for you. Same goes for the PSU, the one ive selected now is more than enough for this build.

Also you could save some more and go for 8gb of ram instead of 16.

Why 750 1gb?

Purchased super cheap

You can do much more with your money, i'll post in a bit.
The 750 is extremely weak for gaming though, it won't even run most stuff at 1080p playable.

This will give you much better performance, the 750 was a bad purchase.
An i5 + a crap GPU will still give you poor frame rates, an i3 and an R9 380X will do you much better.

Hello,
I am currently using a build that I got at this site http://advancedgamingtech.com/gaming-pc-under-500/.
It is working really well.

That's in USD, features a low quality case, a crap power supply and OS isn't included in the budget.

If you can spend a touch more OP.

Here's an idea of the difference, the 750ti would be considered absolute entry level gaming, the 750 is below that.
