Hello all, thanks for reading :p

Basically ive been looking at different parts to build a gaming system, nothing fancy but will handle games like :-skyrim, diablo 3 and older style mmo that are few years old.

Any help would be greatly appreciated on this matter as ive been out of the pc building loop now for about 6 years.

My current system is P4 Core pro duo 8400 3ghz, 8800 GT and 3 gig ram. Just would like something that is better or equivalent.

Ps this will be a second system build.

Have a budget of £450, already got monitor, kb and mouse. Just need windows within the £450.

Ive thrown a few builds together, just need advice please :)

Example :-

BitFenix Comrade Midi-Tower - White -----------£29.99
Asus A55BM-E AMD A55 Chipset (Socket FM2+) ----------------------------£37.99
AMD Athlon X4 750K Black Edition 3.40GHz (Socket FM2) Trinity Quad Core Processor --£55.99
TeamGroup Vulcan RED 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit --£69.95
MSI Radeon R7 240 "Low Profile" 2048MB GDDR3 PCI-Express Graphics Card ----£59.99
Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM HDD ----£43.99
Swift 500W V2 Silent Power SupplySwift 500W V2 Silent Power Supply ---------£17.99
Samsung SH-118AB/BEBE SATA 18x DVD-ROM (Black) - OEM -----------------£12.95
TP-Link 150Mbps Wireless N USB Adapter (TL-WN727N)TP-Link 150Mbps Wireless N USB Adapter (TL-WN727N) ------------£5.95
WIndows 8.1 ----------------£69.95

Total = £404.74

Heres one of them, but not sure of the compatability. As you can see a budget system but a system that is upgradeable in the future :)

Only went AMD, but doesnt matter if Intel either :)

Kind Regards :)

ps, excuse my typos i cant smell lol
 
Hi there :)

PC building 101: do not buy an £18 PSU.

Here's my recommendation:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Powercolor Radeon R9 270 TurboDUO 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £125.99
1 x AMD Piledriver FX-6 Six Core 6300 Black Edition 3.50GHz (Socket AM3+) Processor - Retail £89.99
1 x Gigabyte 970A-DS3P AMD 970A (Socket AM3+) DDR3 Motherboard £56.99
1 x TeamGroup Vulcan ORANGE 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-19200C11 2400MHz Dual Channel Kit (TLAD38G2400HC11CDC01) £55.99
1 x SuperFlower Golden Green HX 450W "80 Plus Gold" Power Supply - Black £53.99
1 x Toshiba (7K1000.D) 1TB SATA 6GB/s 32MB Cache - OEM (DT01ACA100) HDD £43.99
1 x BitFenix Comrade Midi-Tower - White £29.99
Total : £471.02 (includes shipping : £11.75).



At this budget level an OS is a huge drain. I'd advise you use a three-month free trial of Windows 8.1 for now. You'll get significantly more performance for your money.
