£400 Budget Gaming & Rendering PC.

Last response: in Systems
Share

Hey guys/girls, basically I'm looking to build my own PC for £400 or below or extremely close too, can be a little over, not too fussed.

You do not need to include: OPTICAL DRIVES, OPERATING SYSTEM OR A HARD DRIVE.

I am either going to do that OR upgrade my current PC which isn't very good. The specs of that PC are as follows, I thought I would just mix these two kinda' problems in one thread instead of making two, I hope that's okay.

Here are the specs:

CPU: AMD Athlon X2 5000+.
GPU: Built in graphics - NONE.
RAM: 2GB DDR2
PSU: ADT 350W
MOTHERBOARD: ASROCK N68PV-GS

No need to mention HDD or optical drives, they're remaining the same.

Thanks for your helps everyone! :love:  :kaola:

are your existing drives SATA or IDE? if the latter, they're useless.

assuming they are, heres a 400 pound build:

about the same performance in rendering, less capable in games, but still adequate, so maybe. let me look at an 8120 build (It'll overclock the same as an 8150)

a little more expensive here, but the ssd is most of the price difference, CPU + MOBO comes out about the same

So what would you got with the AMD or Intel based system? I think Intel may be best since I have the option to upgrade CPU in the future whereas the AMD 8 core is already top of the range for their processors which would mean me getting a whole new mobo to get to use intel processors.

So do you think these systems are good value for money and do you think i could squeeze a little more out of my budget?
