£450 Gaming PC

ripped · 26 Apr 2009 at 19:24

Hello,
My brother wants me to build him a Pc for his birthday, and he has a max budget of £450 possibly stretch to £500 if it is 50£ better performance.
He will use the PC for gaming on a 26” Samsung TV with a resolution of 720p. He only needs the tower (he already has a decent HDD, so he doesn’t need a new one) and a wireless mouse and keyboard bundle.

Thanks,
Ripped.

@Kenny
Sorry, no I don’t, I have a Vista key: D
Ps i was just looking for this thread so I could edit my post to put that in.
@RJC thank you ,But think would have to have a dual core Intel setup for this price, and if possible can you make it overclockable please

I am liking RJC’s Intel set up the most (Y)

I think I may have it right; basically it a mix up of most of your specs so: thank you.

Should I downgrade it to a GTS 250 or should I keep it at this

Thanks all, but I might try and convince him to get and tri-core if it is really that much better for the money (compared to Intel dual core)

I have Asked My Brother ; and he would rather have a Intel setup so another go;

I don’t think he will be bothered about the sound of the GPU until he realises how loud it is, so I will probably have to install it after wards. Basically he is to tight and wont part with the money until he needs to.

Unfortunately, he has changed his mind, and decided on a bike instead.
