Hows this for a budget build?

[stuweedee123]

Now I am hoping to build this system for as cheap as possible so leave me a message saying what you think.
I am going for an ATX performance gaming rig and you may wonder why I have no HDD well that's because I have them lying around at home, so that's a bit of money saved right there, so I am going to insert a screenshot of the parts. This build should cost around £443.90.

The 7770 isnt a good card. Its newer, yes but it doesnt perform as well. What is this PC going to be used for? Do you plan on OCing? Id get myself an H61/H67 mobo.

Guessing this is a HTPC build? The 2GB of RAM and 550W PSU kinda tell me.

I would actually up the RAM to 4GB, its so cheap nowadays and might as well.

Other than that, looks fine.

I plan to do gaming, no overcocking- is there a good budget card you could reccomomend- I'm looking for something in the £90 to £135 price range

I have 8GB planned for this build. look at the quantity.

Thats gonna be quite hard to get a decent card at that price range. Id say get a GTX550 if your budget is that tight. Might cost a bit more but its an OK card.
Quad channel RAM? I prefer to go Dual channel. Are you sure your mobo supports quad channel?

Ok so I managed to squeeze a 560 into the budget. How's this? cost will be £461.32

That HD7770 you got there will do fine, or if your looking for an older but more powerful card, see if you can find a HD6870.

That 560 will do good. But i dont like the quad channel RAM as the mobo has dual channel architecture

 

[stuweedee123]

what mobo would you recommend?

 

[Nw333]

You should be fine with that mobo. Just get dual channel RAM to be on the safe side
