£400 Build - Gaming

[nath222]

Hello guys,

I have a friend who is wanting to pay a minimum amount for a gaming computer. Now he is only really wanting to play WoW. So he's looking for the best option, for the best price. He has a case and dvd-drive that are usable.

Any suggestions would be brilliant!

If you could push the budget just a little bit more this would be my suggestions. It's basically the same build as RJC's but with RAM thats a little bit cheaper, and a considerably more powerful GPU. It also has the optical drive removed as I notice you already have one.

Thank's everyone for posting, it has been really helpful.

Just a quick question BinnsY, the ram you chose, it's listed as 2400mhz, when the mobo reads as "Memory 4 x DIMM, Max. 32GB, DDR3 2133(O.C.)/1866/1600/1333/1066 MHz ECC, Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory". Is that going to cause a problem?
