Hey everyone. I have exactly £450 to buy ALL the parts needed for a gaming PC. I will NOT need software included (windows 7) as I already have a copy. I will need a monitor and a keyboard + mouse.

Could you please give me the best build I could possibly get for this money.
Thankyou!

You can look to add a dedicated GPU later. Little over but you do get sataIII and USB3, Bacons H61 mobo only does sataII

Would an AMD cpu be better for the budget? And I need the keyboard and mouse in the budget too :O

yes, but and its a big but, it's a tight budget, without the monitor the budget would be better, for me you will only get a mid to low ranged pc for this, take out the monitor and its a different story, if you limit yourself now, you close your options and choices when wanting to upgrade:eek:

one build with amd as onboard vga and the intel one has a mid range card

That monitor really takes a chunk of the budget though...
 
now now boys, play nice or its spank time or i'll kick your wheels off your prams, and yes at 45 im old enough :)

and i'd only use a Celeron if i couldn't afford a decent calculator.

At 6ft1 I dont fit in my Pram anymore ;) I've used the G840 and 850 in budget builds, has plenty of poke for the price. Shame OCuk dont stock the D3V H61 mobo as that had sataIII over the D2V.

I'm sticking by the Ilyama monitor as it has a longer warranty. As he needs a screen he is asking for a rig for £350 and Llano or Trinity is the only real sensible option at that price. The 7770 GPU is actually worse than a 6850 or nvidia 460, both of these GPUs can be found for £50ish second hand and could be added to the FM2 setup. I do believe that FM2 supports lucidMVP now too so the IGP can boost the GPU once one is added
