Budget gaming pc

[wkronbaek]

Hey
I'll be building a new pc soon, mostly for LoL and retro gaming, no video editing.
I will probably buy a big HDD later if i feel like the 60 gb isnt enough and i have a bit more money
I already have Peripherals and OS(ubuntu)
Everything has to be shipped to Denmark (preferably from Amazon)
Budget: ~465£ (Actually 485 but the VAT in Denmark where i live adds about 20£)
Overclocking: Maybe in a year and ill buy a cooler by then, but not right now.


Partpicker list: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/R6dQ (The shown prices and some of the links arent accurate, but the model names are right)

CPU Amd FX 4300 - 96£

Mobo Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 57 £

Case Cooler Master Elite 430 40£

PSU Corsair 430W Builder - 38 £

GPU Asus Radeon HD 7850 - 134 £

SSD Kingston v300 60 GB - 76 £ - Would i need a adapter/mounting bracket?

RAM 8 GB Kingston Beast 2x4 GB 1866 mhz - 41 £ , Upgraded to this as i'm fine paying 4£ to get rid of the 2-4 week dispatch time.

Random Internet card. - 9 £

Total: ~465£

Suggestions?

with that it looks like you can't go wrong.

Thx : P


I noticed that the mobo only had sata II today, and found this one. But that one has no support for the front usb 3.0 ports on my case, so i dont know if i should invest the 16 £ extra for this ?

Help appreciated

The GPU is a bit weak for gaming.

The GPU is a bit weak for gaming.

Got any advice for something better not blowing my budget? Perhaps the 650?
And im not going to play Crysis 3 and i'm fine with a fps of 40-50.

A little over budget but not by a great deal. Definitely worth the extra i'd say.

Oh get the PSU mikerockett picked it's far better.

 

[wkronbaek]

Sorry, forgot to say that it has to be shipped to Denmark
But nice inputs, thinking about i should downgrade the cpu to better afford the gpu? Probably going for the 7850. Also my max is around 470 £ (But i would really prefer around 440-450 $)

 

[FinneousPJ]

The build I posted isn't any more than the one in your original post. If you need to downgrade the CPU to get an HD7850 I'd say it's worth it.

[End6am3r]

Is there a similar website like part picker for India?

 

[FinneousPJ]

Looks nice. I'd aim for AMD FX4300 if possible.

Yeah, but thatll be a bit past my budget, any suggestions for cutting it with 5-10£?

 

[FinneousPJ]

Maybe leave out the SSD for now.

[wkronbaek]

Maybe leave out the SSD for now.

Not to sure about that, but worth considering...
Also, reading the reviews on the case will i be able to fit these components into it?

And Ja3farQ, Crossfire seems a bit overkill for this budget?

 

[FinneousPJ]

I don't see why the components wouldn't fit.

I agree crossfire doesn't make sense for this budget.

 

[Ja3farQ]

crossfiring two 7770 GHz beats a 7850

 

[wkronbaek]

New update
Changed the RAM to get rid of the 2-4 weeks delivery
Changed the SSD to a 60GB one to get within budget - Will probably buy a big HDD later when i have a bit more money.
Changed the case to a Cooler Master RC 430 for better space and better looks

Any other recommendations?

This is what I would probably get...

Item Price (£)

AMD Athlon II X4 640 55.01
WD WD3200BPVT 320Gb 38.73
Kingston KVR1333D3N9/4G 29.16
AsRock 970 EXTREME3 66.98
Corsair 430W PSU 39.99
EVGA GeForce GTX 660 SC 187.95

Total: 417 pound

And for the case, pick any case you like as long as it fits an ATX form factor.
