I have built quite a few computers in the past, and have come here for feedback and everytime you guys have been amazing. So was wondering if you could have help me once again!
I have been assigned to build a computer for younger brother for christmas. Small budget of around £300 - He mainly uses it for gaming. I know £300 won't get him far but, worth a shot. The main games he'll normally be playing are basically WoW and maybe SWTOR.
Approximate Purchase Date: Before Christmas
Budget Range: around £300
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming playing MMO's like World of Warcraft and the soon to be released SWTOR
Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, OS, (Maybe HDD, although isnt SATA from previous computer)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Ebuyer prefrabbly, excellent customers service, Aria, Overclockers, DABS
Country: United Kingdom
Parts Preferences: Graphics: Prefrabbly Nvidia - had problems with ati in the past
Overclocking: Possibly
SLI or Crossfire: Probably not
Monitor Resolution: not fussed
Additional Comments: To be able to play Wow / SWTOR at an okay frame rate, doesnt have to be on great settings, bearing in mind only spending £300
Motherboard: Asus M5A97 PRO 970 Socket AM3+ 8 Channel HD Audio ATX Motherboard (Ebuyer) £77.98
Memory: G-Skill 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600Mhz RipjawsX Memory Kit CL9 (9-9-9-24) 1.5V (Ebuyer) £36.12
CASE: Coolermaster Elite 330 Case With Coolermaster eXtreme Power 500W PSU (Ebuyer) £49.98
CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 640 Socket AM3 3GHz 2MB L2 Cache Retail Boxed Processor (Ebuyer) £75.99
Gigabyte GT 440 OC 1GB DDR3 DVI VGA HDMI Out PCI-E Graphics Card (Ebuyer) £57.28
Total: £297.35
This was the closest I could get it to £300 and that was without a SATA HDD - Unsure If I could do any better for my money, once again any help you give is highly greatful
Kind regards
