Budget 'Gaming' PC ~£350

[mattyjim123]

Hi guys,

My step brother wants me to help him build a PC, says he will have around £350-£400 in the next couple of months.

We have already got a few parts from various other machines:
- HDD's
- Two old 8800GT's that we could run in SLI (MoBo permitting). He's currently using an older Dell Vostro desktop with 1 of them in, and is happy with the performance... He came from an Xbox 360.
- All the peripherals

We need to get everything else. As I said before, no need for GPU, says he will probably upgrade that in the future anyway.

Small form factor would be nice (but not essential), probably mATX, as would look a bit cleaner in his room. He has no preference over AMD or Intel.

Cheers Guys, take it away!

I'm assuming you can also reuse the optical drive and you don't require Windows?
