So, having finally decided what I wanted PC wise, I'm getting all my mates sorted so we can all play some games together. This particular friend's laptop recently died (got crushed!) and instead of replacing it with another £400 piece of tat, he was wondering if he could get a small desktop instead.
Now, its not much of a budget and this fellow has recently got a taste for playing PC games (finally!). He won't get much for £400, but £400 on a desktop > £400 on a laptop! He won't need an OS, DVD drive or a monitor. Can't go over £400 as I need to throw in a screen as well (he can have my old one for £50 or so).
I've thrown the 20th unlocked K CPU in there as I can sell him that as well for £30. Best I've managed to do knowing this is £10 over... then the screen. So £60 over.
YOUR BASKET
1 x Powercolor Radeon R9 270 TurboDUO 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £109.99
1 x Gigabyte Z97N-WIFI Intel Z97 (Socket 1150) DDR3 Mini ITX Motherboard £93.95
1 x TeamGroup Elite Black 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (TPKD38G1600HC11DC01) £59.99
1 x Crucial MX100 128GB SATA 2.5” 7mm SSD + 9.5mm Adapter (CT128MX100SSD1) £54.98
1 x Intel Pentium K Anniversary G3258 Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail £49.99
1 x Raijintek Metis*- Black Mini ITX Case £35.99
1 x SuperFlower Amazon 300W "80 Plus Bronze" Power Supply £31.99
Total : £446.48 (includes shipping : £8.00).
Not sure on AMD side of things. As I said, would be great if it could at least do medium at 1080 on a few games.
Cheers,
Grady
