hey guys , this needs to be a really cheap build :/, i want to be able to game on it sooner or later but a basic rig would do for now.
Approximate Purchase Date: the next month
Budget Range: 250 GBP
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Surfing the net, Gaming (fifa 12, shogun 2), Basic use
Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, screen, speakers, graphics card(for the time being)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: ebay, amazon and pretty much anything that delivers to mainland UK
Country of Origin: England
Parts Preferences: Intel i3 (cheap with scope for upgrades)
and the motherboard must have space for future graphics cards and must have USB 3.0
Overclocking: Maybe future
SLI or Crossfire: not really, dont think ill ever need that much gaming power
Monitor Resolution: 1024x768
Additional Comments: the most important thing about this build is it is cheap second is performance and it needs scope for upgrading later. quiet would be good though isnt as important as price
things i have in mind already:
for processor: i3-2100
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/INTEL-CO [...] 1566wt_950
no mobo chosen yet, was hoping you'd help with this (does the micro atx factor make a difference)
for memory: 4gb corsair
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-TW [...] 630&sr=1-3
and with the memory is it better to have 4gb in 2x2gb format or 1x4gb?
and that's all i've got so far, hope you can help i just need cheap parts that will do the job for now. comment if you want any more info thanks guys
