Hi

I want to get a gaming PC in the range of 600-700 pounds. But I dont know which one to get or what components it should have.

stulid · 28 Oct 2014 at 20:27

We dont know what components or peripherals you need either.

bolterixus · 28 Oct 2014 at 20:36

Do u have any suggestions on gaming PC in this price range

stulid · 28 Oct 2014 at 20:40

But what do you need?

Keyboard, mouse, monitor etc etc.

Little*Freak · 28 Oct 2014 at 20:40

Hi bolterixus, some questions if you don't mind?

Do you already have, a Monitor, Windows 7 or 8 etc, a keyboard, a mouse?

Do you need all of these things as well as a gaming PC?

If you already have a Monitor, how big is it, what is it's resolution etc?

What sorts games do you want to play etc?

Have you any other parts that you wan't to use, or do you want a whole new system?

Any info you can provide will help the experts* here, to help you

*am not one of them.

I would like to get a new keyboard mouse, I have a monitor but it is like a tv so I use it for PC and TV. But my most important thing is the actual PC I dont have an OS so I would probably get the windows 7 pro maybe windows 8.1 I will have to have a look at.

I play games like battlefield 4, minecraft etc. It will be for designing as well.
I would like a whole new system.

I would like probably 8gb of ram would be fine... em I think that is it if u have anymore questions then just ask

P.S well I am not that great with like what graphic card goes well to what so yeah

Little*Freak · 28 Oct 2014 at 20:54

Ok, i will have a look and see what is possible with £700 maximum.

bolterixus · 28 Oct 2014 at 20:56

Thx do u suggest getting a PC already made or to get seperate parts

Little*Freak · 28 Oct 2014 at 21:00

Can you build one, or do you know someone who can build one?

It would be cheaper to buy parts and build it yourself but also does not have the extended 24 Month Overclockers warranty.

Which would you prefer to do?

Fleshwerk · 28 Oct 2014 at 21:02

You will want to go for an Intel i5, 8gb ram and a graphics card like a radeon r9 270 or 280. Have a look in the system configurator options on the OCUK website, you can get a prebuilt system if you are not confident in building it yourself

Little*Freak · 28 Oct 2014 at 21:04

For £700, with O/S, Monitor, Keyboard and Mouse?

Plz god show me how....!

Fleshwerk · 28 Oct 2014 at 21:04

Unless you do a lot of homework from now on building a PC I would suggest going for a prebuilt one with the big warranty, a lot less stress if you aren't familiar with building systems lol

Little*Freak · 28 Oct 2014 at 21:09

Stulid, i am stumped.

A completely new PC to run BF4 for £700 Max!

Inc. headset or speakers?

stulid · 28 Oct 2014 at 21:15

This would mean I have to get of the sofa and turn the PC on

Sorry man but really, a Pre Built full PC with headset or speakers to play BF4, for £700 inc. shipping?

bolterixus, hi again, is this PC for you or for your Son or Daughter?

stulid · 28 Oct 2014 at 21:26

Well hes not confirmed if he has the ability to build one or not.

That would help.

Actually OcUK might build the above for the price of the money not used, would have to ask them.

Little*Freak · 28 Oct 2014 at 21:29

That's why i asked but he seemed very certain that he would need a Monitor too, stulid.

And am thinking that a Pre Built system would probably be the preferred option here.

bolterixus · 28 Oct 2014 at 21:32

This is a computer for me. Do not count the mouse and the keyboard with it the speakers can be quite cheap for the start and later I will upgrade. Well I even have speakers which I could use for the start

I would ask the company to build it or my friend might do so.

so stulid the components u have given would it run BF4?
