CPU Type - AMD FX Six Core
CPU Model - AMD FX 6300 3.5Ghz Six Core

CPU Speed - 3.5 Ghz
CPU Max Turbo Clock Speed - 4.1 Ghz

for prebuilt system i would suggest this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Freshtech-H110M-S2H-Motherboard-Performance-Certified/dp/B01FKZX6AA/ref=sr_1_15?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1502737518&sr=1-15&keywords=gaming+pc

i5 7400

1060 6gb

h110m mobo

8gb ram

1tb hdd

non overclockable cpu and no cpu`s over 65w if you want to upgrade in the future. also 1151 is a dead socket now. More case fans required for good temps

or if you want to build it yourself

The CPU is really bad. The graphics card is good though. How much are you paying for the rig?

My advice will be to build a rig with a better CPU as you will likely see bottlenecking from your CPU in this build.

Thanks for the advice. It costs £750. From what you've said, I will reconsider. This is saving £267 as it is on sale right now. I was looking for an Intel i5 7th gen, and just stumbled across this.

Hi,

Just quickly wanted to ask if this other PC sounds good...:

GIGABYTE B250M-DS3H Intel B250 (Socket 1151) Micro ATX Motherboard
Intel 7th Gen Dual Core I3 7100 3.9GHz
8GB (1x 8GB) DDR4 2133Mhz Dimm
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5
Seagate Firecuda 500GB 2.5" Hybrid Drive - Up to 5X Faster than HDD
1TB SATA HDD (7200RPM)
500Watt PSU

Cheers,
Brad

This one is better for sure. But again for the money you are spending, an i5 7600k is the recommended way to go so it will last you for a good year or so. It is on sale because the specs are outdated.

Dude thanks so much for putting this all together. If I did get this I could probably build it myself as last time I dealt with Freshtech they were very unhelpful and awkward. The thing is I don't really know how to build computers. But, there has to be a first time for everything.

Thanks a lot!
