Hello guys looking for some options on two gaming PCs. After one of my boys deciding he wants a gaming good old dad has decided to get him one. I have spent a few days doing some research but so many different options out there it gets mind boggling so thought here would be a great place to ask.
1st PC will be for my son budget £300
Needs an op
Mouse and keyboard
Main use gaming and YouTube

2nd PC is for oneself £1000-1200
Also needs op
Mainly for gaming and a little internet serving
Would like to get the best internals for £
The option for future upgrades where possible
Wireless adaptor
Also would like the sense of acheivment building them and would that save me a few pennys?
Many thanks

Thanks for the fast reply stulid i have put the order in today so look forward to the bits arriving and building it will also be ordering one of the others within the next day or two :)
Thanks for your help
 
Okey can you explain furthur as i am unsure what you mean. If i still dont understand what you are saying are there any other cases available?
 
so can a graphics be added or does it not need it? I have started to put it together this evening but must admit am struggling i have the motherboard fitted into the case cpu fan and chassis fan fitted and the main power plug to motherboard fitted now im lost. i cant find anywhere to plug the usb connection in s its a 19 hole connection but on the board its two seperate 9 pins?
have two separate blue conections from the power supplied labelled cp and u1 cant find where they plug in?
two looms with two sata connection and a 4 hole connection that i cant seem to connect either any help would be much appreciated
 
n the edge of the motherboard are two sets of pins
usb 56 and usb34 they both have 9 pins but the two usb ports join into one cable that the connection at the end does not fit onto the motherboard
 
I ordered the package you recommended have just looked through the list of parts and have been sent the wrong motherboard should have been the
1x gigabyte F2A88xm-DS2
but have got the Asus A55BM-E AMD 55 (socket fm2+) ddr3 micro atx motherboard


How to i upload photos on here as i have taking photos of the connections
