APU Build

[iForum33]

Hi,

I'm planning on building a new computer using the new Trinity APU, A10-5800k. I'm on a tight budget of 350 pounds. I really need help with this!

I DON'T need:
-Monitor (res:1440x900)
-K&M
-OS

I NEED:
-Apu
-Ram
-Hdd
-Psu
-Case
-Motherboard

I live in England, so please use UK sites to find the parts.
I'm going to be playing games like Combat arms, A.V.A, and Crossfire, they aren't graphics intensive so I don't need another GPU. I might also play games like Skyrim, MW3 and Minecraft.

I'd like to use the 2133 speed memories but I have heard the max supported ram speed is 1866, which sucks. :/
I'm not going to be overclocking any part of my system, mainly because I don't want to risk damaging any components.

Other than light gaming, I'm going to be streaming HD videos and surfing the web. I'm not going to be rendering videos, uploading videos or doing anything related to photoshop etc.

Thanks for reading

Tons of reviews have it running with 2133mhz ram, so I wouldn't worry about that.

This should set you back about 300 quid. I only used amazon but a few searches through pricegrabber.uk they seemed to be the best option or close to. Do check more thorough yourself if you can though, I didn't consider shipping. I don't know how good the psu is, but none of the reviews I briefly read mention it being bad and some mentioned how the case could be used for htpc so it can't be too noisy I suppose. Consider getting an ssd as well, it makes the whole system feel a lot faster. A small one for the OS and a few other things should be in your budget.

Good luck with the build, and butremor's build suggestion looks solid as well.

My suggestion is to get a Intel pentium g850 and a AMD 7770 together both parts are only 170ish bucks only 40 bucks over the AMD 5800k but the 7770 will be mire future proof by the way I'm American so I meant 170usd not sure hoe many euros that is
