Hi All.

Trying to price together a cheap gaming machine for the wife for average gaming but also a system I can use to take to LAN parties I attend once or twice a year.

came up with the following..

My basket at Overclockers UK:

Total: £464.63
(includes shipping: £11.70)
​

This about as cheap as I am going to get without going down the APU Route which i don't think will be much kop for gaming.
 
Thanks guys.. I have a spare corsair 600w PSU so did not need one. and i chose the air 240 as I have a 20 quid voucher which brings that down to 59 quid.

I will take a look at some of those suggestions.

Also OP you said "average gaming" but could you be more specific? What games she plays and at what screen res would help. Also if she demands all the graphical bells and whistles or not.

Mostly she plays CS:GO so for her it should be more than adequate.

When i take it Lan gaming I may want to play some of the latest titles but would turn down most of the demanding effects. Res would be 1080p but on a 21:9 monitor as its my spare so 2560x1080p

Just came up with this minus PSU which i have and Cooler which I am undecided on and dependent on space.

Thanks Danny.

I see you can get a replacement mesh front for that case.. for 12 quid i think i may invest to provide better air flow
