Hi folks im a first time builder on a pretty tight budget. Having to cut corners somewhere so would value your input.
Currently running a Core 2 Quad Q8300 (bought in 2007 as a prebuild) but planning to sell this on as I will have no use for it.
This is intended as a gamer (although not hardcore as the budget cant really stretch to the i5 2500 and beyond)
Would appreciate your help in seeing if theres any cheaper alternative that are still as good. Planning on running an i3 2100
PSU - Corsair 600w CX Series V2 (£50) For a future graphics card to save rebuying. The GTX 560 im thinking of requires at least 500w
MoBo - Asus P8Z68-V LX
RAM - Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4gb) (Already bought for £37)
Ive decided to do away with the Arctic cool freezer 7 in order to save a few quid and ill use the stock cooler instead.
So if you could lend a guy a hand and know of a cheaper alternative please let me know!
Thanks guys
