Hello, I created this build with limited knowledge of the technical side of computers (after just 1 nights research) to fit my budget of under £400 (600$-650$) to be bought within the next month. It's primary use would be gaming, mostly playing old gems (both emu's and games like Titan Quest, Warcraft 3) but I also want to be able to play newer games on decent settings. Such games may include Diablo 3, Path of Exile, Tera and all the 'hip' new mmos that have been coming out lately. Basically I want to play some new games but I'm skint and can't afford an expensive machine.
I don't need any peripherals, just tower components. Nor do I need a dvd drive. I don't plan to overclock or crossfire and i don't much care about having a silent pc either. 1440 x 900 would be the resolution I would be running on most games.
Basically what I want from you guys is advice. If things aren't compatible or ill-advised then your input would be very much appreciated.
