Afternoon,
I am looking at building a gaming pc rig, i have been considering building my own pc or buying a Alienware M15x MLK for £550 of a friend. I think a pc would be the best option as i can always steal my fiances laptop.
Im hoping to be able to build a pc for around £500 - 600 that will run BF3 at high/ultra settings if that is possible.
I have only ever semi build a pc before.
What parts would you recommened and where is best to shop? Im am from the UK.
Items i will need...
PSU - £14-20???
MOTHERBOARD - £50?
CPU - £100??
HARD DRIVE - £50?
DISC DRIVE - already have loads of spare dvd drives which will do for the time being?
GRAPHICS CARD - £100-200?
BASE UNIT - £30
MONITOR - £100
RAM - £50
That works out for £550 ish, surely in that rough pricing i would be able to get a decent rig?
Sold my old q6600, 4gb ram, XfX 8800gts for £300 it did go along with a 24 inch monitor though but all of it was 4-5 years old so a good deal i hope?
