Building a PC is easy, besides if you get stuck there are tutorials on Youtube and there are plenty of people here to help you, plus you'll save money and end up with a better performance rig!

As for what you have linked the FX-6100 is not great for gaming, given your budget either an i3 or i5 processor would be better. The HD 7750 is the same, it won't great something like a HD 6850 would be better.

I would wait for a seasoned speccer to drop by soon. Honosuseri is a good user who helped me out so I'm sure he or someone else will drop a spec here.

I have seen people...running most of the high end games like BF3, crysis etc on those 2 specs on high and ultra settings with 50-70 fps....also those 2 price are cheaper compare to what u recommend me -...-.

Here's a PC building guide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_56kyib-Ls

It pretty much holds your hand all the way through

At what resolutions? What resolution do you plan to play at? Bare in mind that here users aim to pack the best bang for buck in your budget, that straight out is not the best PC you could get for the money.

The Youtube video Smoogels linked is the one I followed on my first build and it is very informative, watching Part 3 will probably help you too.

It's over £550 sorry. Did you need the OS?

You could shave off a few quid using a B grade HDD (shorter warranty), or even change to a non modular PSU. We could drop the price of the case maybe too, which would make the build look like this......

I do

As for the monitor and resolution I reckon the HD 7750 would struggle to run BF3 at 1080 much past medium. Removing the OS would make a little more room for the possibility of a 3570K yes?

Sowwie tpyo..its HD 7770 xD

well i am here for u guys to guide me so any thing can help ^^

TheSkateyBird · 20 Jul 2012 at 17:01

Still applies though

But the frame rate would be a little higher. Still both of the above specs would outperform the one you originally linked

Good luck with all, but I would be amazed if someone got those frames with the spec you have listed. I would take the advise of forum - I am sure they will suggest 6850 way to go with either an i3/i5.

Look at this for FPS comparisons.
