This Budget build any good?

[Guest]

Hey, i'm new to this forum and new to computer hardware. I've done lots of research on graphics cards and processors and whats needed to run some of the latest games. anyway i have an extremely tight budget of 310 pound and im wondering if this pc will run some of the latest games on at least lowest details and if there is better parts for cheaper.

Good job putting together this bargain basement build that will actually perform!
You should be able to play most games at 1024x768 or 1280x1024 with medium settings.

 

[Guest]

will it run future titles on low settings?

 

[ScrewySqrl]

its a decent build.

I'd suggest Seagate or Samsung 1TB drives over hitachi, as better quality drives.


If you can swing the extra expense, get an HD6850 instead of HD6770, for a bit better performance. The price difference should stll be under 400 pounds.

Spend a little bit more on the processor and get an i3 with a H61 motherboard. That'll be able to play even BF3 at medium settings at 1366x768 with HD 6670.

 

[Guest]

hmm, 14 pound more for an I3 seems decent.

 

[Guest]

in fact, im getting an i3 + h61 motherboard as its higher on CPU Hierarchy chart, thanks.

Yah, that is better for gaming and other real world apps.
