Hey guys. I'm building my first PC, it doesn't look to hard, just clip things together and make sure I ground myself, but I need a different kind of help, I need help picking parts. I'm from the UK, so I can't get anything from Newegg unfortunately, at least I don't think I can, I have been told I can't get anything from there because thats US only, anyway, I have websites like Scan.co.uk and eBuyer to get my parts from.
I do not care to play on high-ultra, or on high resolution, I can play on Low-Medium without a worry in the world for my first PC. Anyway.. I would like to be able to know to run things like Crysis 3 on low-medium, but that probably won't be what I play. I play a wide range of games, I am very interested in League of Legends, I may consider many games from Steam, like CoD and things, (Minecraft, the odd game like Don't Starve, MMO's etc..) and once again, I do not care if I have to play on Low.
I'm not too much of an expert on things, although I know I'm going to need a good graphics card, about 1-2GB GPU RAM, been thinking the Radeon HD 7870, which has 2GB and pretty good, its about £160 on Scan, which might be out of my price range, but theres a possible chance I could get it, and probably a I5 Quad Core processor, but I have NO clue what else to get, I won't have a case for this, power supply, so I'm most likely going to need everything (exception of a monitor, the mouse and keyboard, and well, thats the only things I have. I'll need Windows 7 64bit and everything) 4 GB Ram will be wonderful, 8GB even better, I can live with 500GB memory, etc.
Ah now, my budget... I'm still saving, I only have about £280. yikes. But I'm going to save for £400-£500 perhaps if I really need to, maybe kick it up to £500-£600, but that might take too long.
So do you guys know what I could build for around £300-£550?
EDIT: The lower, the better. Although I did say I'd like for this PC to last, so if it really does need to go up to £500, then so be it. I'd like if I get multiple answers, that way I have a range of choices... So yeah.
