Hey guys, so basically im thinking ok buying/building a new Pc (dont need monitor mouse keyboard) and i have a budget of around 300-350 pounds. What im wondering is...if its better to just go buy a pc that has already been built or build one myself.
For buying a pc could you give me a few links to a pc in that 300-350 price range.
On the otherhand could you give me a few builds if possible.
I want to run games like battlefield 3, and 4 when it comes out etc...

Thanks :)
 
 
Hello and welcome to the forum.

Do you have a PC at the moment?
If so, can you list your system specs, including OS. As we may be able to use some of the components.
£350 is a low budget for a decent gaming system.
 
Over budget but the ram will allow you to OC the intergrated Cpu and graphics to get maximum gaming performance.

Thanks for the build, how well do you think this would run BF3?
