Best PC config for ~£250

[stevydinho]

Hi guys, I'm a student looking to build cheap Windows 8 ready PC for multitasking and (very) light gaming. The price needn't include OS or graphics card. Possible configuration: FX6100, 4GB RAM, DVD RW, CiT Mars Midi Tower Case - and any power supply 400W+ and any HDD 250GB+

+ and ASRock N68 VS3 FX mobo

And the gpu ? cause that cpu doesn't have any on die gpu.
Just get a pentium G860 or an i3-3220+b75/h77 mobo or an amd apu.

Would you say an i3 is better for multitasking than an fx-6100 though? Because I could just spend £25 on a GT 210 card and go AMD

What's that you need ?

CPU+MOBO+RAM ?

But i can say that the i3-3220 is better than the FX-6100.

i3-3220 + Asus P8H61M + 4GB Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz is now what I'm thinking

Don't get a H61 mobo for the i3-3220, many needs a prior bios update.
