I'm looking to upgrade my current PC, which is a basic, bogstandard, no frills PC, but now I'm looking for a decent PC for a bit of gaming, nothing to drastic, as I was raised a console gamer so the big titles will be on them, but I fancy a few on PC like BF3, GTA (some mods look cool so want to try out).
So the one I've seen is £650, but I'm a bit of a dimwit with no technical knowledge, so is this build here worth the money, or is it an overpriced machine. Ideally I'd like to spend around £500 - £650 so this is pretty much top of my budget.
- Power Supply: Corsair CX 430w PSU
- CPU: AMD FX-8 8320 Piledriver 3.50GHz Eight Core CPU
- Motherboard: Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3 AMD 760G (Socket AM3+) DDR3 Motherboard
- Cooler: Stock AMD CPU Cooler
- RAM: TeamGroup Elite 8GB (2x4GB) 1600MHz C11 DDR3 Dual Channel Kit
- Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB SATA 6Gb/s 16MB Cache HDD
- Graphics Card: AMD HD Radeon 7850 1GB GDDR5
- Sound: Onboard 7.1 Audio
- Optical Drive: OcUK 22x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter - Black
- Network: Asus USB-N10 WiFi 150Mbps Pen
I would love to build one, but when I've looked at it, my mind can't quite comprehend all the jargon of every part, and wether they'd go together. And then I always seem to go overboard when building them with parts online, the overall cost is twice the budget =[
Sorry about the walls of text.
