Hi everyone, I'm looking to build myself a budget gaming PC, I already have a PSU and Graphics Card (Nvidia gtx260)
So I'm looking to spend around £100-150 for a CPU, motherboard and at least 4GB ram.
It's quite a big ask as I know it's a small budget.
I've spend many hours trawling to find the best processor I can for the money but it gets very confusing, so I thought I'd ask some informed people.
Currently one of the best options I see is;
AMD Phenom II X4 965 (BE)
I've also considered the;
Intel I3 2120
These are just what I've found, please feel free to suggest anything better.
The games I'm planning on playing are BF3, Skyrim and minecraft/tekkit among others.
I know the GTX260 is going to be a bit of bottleneck but I may update this when I get some more cash.
(Any insight into which motherboard to buy would also be greatly appreciated)
Thanks a lot for any help!
