Looking to build a system for general use and some gaming. Not built a system for 10 years! So out of the loop and could do with a bit of advice.
Come up with two systems.
This one is bang on budget:
CPU: Intel - Core i3-8100 3.6GHz Quad-Core Processor
Motherboard: ASRock - H310M-ITX/ac Mini ITX LGA1151 Motherboard
Memory: Team - Vulcan 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2400 Memory
Storage: Western Digital - Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: Zotac - GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB Mini Video Card
Case: Cooler Master - Elite 110 Mini ITX Tower Case
Power Supply: be quiet! - Pure Power 10 CM 400W 80+ Silver Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
Total: £510
The second is slightly over budget but the GPU is better and Hard Drive is hybrid:
CPU: Intel - Core i3-8100 3.6GHz Quad-Core Processor
Motherboard: ASRock - H310M-ITX/ac Mini ITX LGA1151 Motherboard
Memory: Team - Vulcan 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2400 Memory
Storage: Seagate - FireCuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Hybrid Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: Zotac - GeForce GTX 1060 3GB 3GB Mini Video Card
Case: Cooler Master - Elite 110 Mini ITX Tower Case
Power Supply: be quiet! - Pure Power 10 CM 400W 80+ Silver Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
Total: £576
Both are Mini ITX as I like the compactness of the system.
In terms of gaming, it'll be driving a 1080p monitor. So as long as I can game at that resolution with settings on high (not bothered about anti anailasing) I'm happy. If the cheaper system can do it the great! However, I feel the extra £67 quid will go a long way to future proofing the system in terms of 1080p gaming.
Many thanks I advance!
