Gaming PC for around £350???

[RexX]

Hi guys. I've made a decision and I'm really interested in Lazder's build.

Will this definitely give me good playable/acceptable frame rates?


I'm hoping to buy most parts tonight, could someone possibly tell me if this is a good choice, please feel free to make changes as I want the best I can get for my money.



Thanks

Lazders is very similar to mine, i linked that video to help give you an idea. You don't get free P&P though

I've used the merc beta it's not great to be honest, the asgard is better. Equally the T1 isn't great but is cheap. The mobo i used is mATX so you can use it in the Zalman T1 or a bigger case.

No free P&P no!? Awwh,

But yeah I have been looking on youtube it's a pretty neat little APU I like the integrated GPU that will save me some time to buy something like a 6670. I also heard you can overclock the CPU and the integrated GPU individually which is also interesting.


Could you possibily post the final build/parts I should buy because I want to be 120% sure on what I'm buying.


Thanks

£27 over budget but is better than the Trinity IGP. Has less CPU power but can easily be upgraded to any 1155 socket CPU down the line.

so this is what i should be looking at?

is it a good build?

Again you need to pay the P&P on top so that's closer to £400. As I said the 7770 isnt great value. The 2GB 7850 is £150ish and comes with a nice bundle of free games and has twice the performance of the 7770. Trouble is the 7850 is close to half your budget but that's the only GPU I'm happy to recommend for serious gaming, as I said a 2nd hand GPU would be preferable to the 7770 or just use the AMD trinity spec and add a dedicated GPU later.....dont use a 6670 for hybrid Xfire with it that's a waste of cash too.

Hope we are helping more than hindering

At the end of the day my spec will be faster in games because of the dedicated GPU and will allow an upgrade to a 1155 socket CPU, whereas the FM2 is a dead line so would need replacing (CPU and Mobo) later on

But if you can source a 560 for £50, that is reccomended.
