I'm looking to get a desktop for media and light gaming use, I currently just have a chromebook and have some games in my steam account I would like to play the most demanding would be Batman Arkham City, GTA:V or CS:GO.
Budget is as close to £300 as possible, this is what I have come up with so far:
My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £328.23
(includes shipping: £12.30)
I have a SATA HDD around somewhere for media/photo content but would like an SSD to put Windows and games on.
Would the RAM and CPU be a compatible speed?
[edit] sourced an SSD from MM so no storage needs to be spec'd. I'm also wondering how much improvement would be seen between the Pentium and an i3? I would like to stay with the LGA 1151 socket some there could be some future proofing.
