Budget pc for WoW and Minecraft

[DotFifty89]

Looking to build the cheapest possible mini pc for the kids to play world of warcraft and minecraft.

Currently I have specced this on another website:


Amd 5350 apu 2.05 ghz - £40

Msi AM1 mini itx motherboard - £24

Kingston 120gb SSD - £40

Kingston valueram 4gb 1600Mhz - £17 (will add another 4gb later on)

Qubz micro itx with 250W PSU - £33

Total £154

Obviously I'm not expecting ultra settings here, but would this do low settings? Will it be ok in big raids in world of warcraft?

Any alternatives is greatly appreciated. Can add another £50 if needed. Thanks guys.

Have you considered members market, You can get a far better rig there.
Search MM for a AMD Phenom II X4 B50 3.10GHz Black Edition/HD5850 rig, it looks just what you need.

Hi, I don't have access to the meerkat market

Lemin does this mean the rig that I posted is trash? Their not that bothered about minecraft, more worls of warcraft, will it be at all playable in low settings? Thanks.

Not sure but should be ok on low.

Think it would lagg in raids but would probably be playable. Add a HD 120gb is pathetic.

id have to say no, that apu would be complete **** for wow.

i would go for a gpu of atleast £100.

any of these would get atleast low settings in wow;

If the only things installed are Windows and a couple of games then it'll be just fine.

Qubz micro itx with 250W PSU

The psu that comes with that case only has a 10A 12v rail so only 120w to play with. The case can't take a graphics card either. I think you need to spend at least another £100 to do this properly as that apu just isn't up to the job.

Can't do the basket thing on my phone but have a look at the SanDisk ssd on ocuk, bought one for £38 last week great drive. The one you listed, they swapped the memory out for total garbage after sales picked up, shady *********.

if your not after something that will have all the bells and whistles, the lowest performance system i have ran wow on recently with medium(ish) settings at 1080p (turn shadows to low)

A mini itx h81 with Intel Pentium G3220 (you could swap this for a pentium k series), 4gb memory, 128gb ssd, and a low profile Radeon 7750, all running off a mini itx 120w inwin psu.
