Budget Build, £500 - £600

Entrity · 27 May 2015 at 15:46

Hello everyone,

Just signed up so I'm new, Decided it would be best to ask on here as I have purchased from Overclockers before with no hassle or problems and they are UK Based.

What I'm hoping you can help with is I am looking for a gaming PC that can run witcher 3 on a decent level with a budget of around £500 to £600.

I already have a few peripherals (Monitor, Keyboard and mouse, SSD/HDD) so I can rule them out, but What I would need is:

- Chassis
- Chassis fans (Will probably be needed for a game like witcher 3?)
- CPU (Preferably Intel)
- CPU Cooler (No liquid cooling please)
- Motherboard
- Power Supply
- RAM
- GPU (Preferably Nvidia)
- Operating System (Win8) (I have a blank SSD which I can install this on)

I would be grateful if you could spec me up with the following.

Preferably also having it pre-built. I'm not sure if Overclockers would do this themselves but it would be great if they could.

Thanks for your help

Wow, thanks a lot guys. I'll save the second spec list you've given me, as I'm looking to get it in a couple months time after saving. Using the second spec, will this be able to run a game like witcher 3 decently without any problems such as stuttering etc. (running the game on low-medium settings)

also, is there a process on the Overclockers website to request them to build the machine for me?

Again thank you.

You ask customer services (section at the top of the forum) if they can build it and how much etc.

It will play Witcher3 very well.

The CPU is good (use the i5 4590 as a rough guide) - http://i.imgur.com/9bz8BxJ.png

And the GPU does ok - http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/the_witcher_3_graphics_performance_review,5.html
