Hey guys, I'm new to this forum and computer building but I know what do to do and what each part does. I am currently taking GCSE computing.
I need help deciding for parts for my first, budget gaming PC. This is my first build so this should be fun and it can't go over my limit of £200 - £450 as I myself, must save up for the parts and will be selling my laptop for some money towards it.
Okay, so the parts I have chosen are:
Processor: AMD Phenom II x4 965 Black Edition
RAM: Kingston 4GB DDR3 1333MHz
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3 Socket AM3+ 7.1 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard
Power Supply: Coolermaster 500W GX Lite
Case: CoolerMaster Elite 430
Hard Drive: Hitachi 500GB DESKSTAR 3.5" SATA-III - 7200RPM 16MB Cache
Now, I can't find a good graphics card that will fit the bill. :/
I was thinking something like a GTX 550 Ti or even a HD 4850.
The games I will be playing are GTA IV & EFLC, Sims 3 and COD MW2 and things alike.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
PS, all the parts are being ordered from ebuyer. Current cost is £271.55.
