My friend's PC is in need of an upgrade (first gen i3, GT510 I think and H55 motherboard).
All he needs for roughly £500 is a CPU, GPU, motherboard, RAM and PSU.
He has a Coolermaster Haf 912 case, hard drives and a disk drive he can reuse(?)
If the above can be reused, what would you suggest for £500?
I was thinking along the lines of this:
YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel Core i5-4670K 3.40GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail £185.99
1 x Gigabyte Radeon R9 270X WindForce 3X OC 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card with BattleField 4 PC Game Included £164.99
1 x Gigabyte Z87X-D3H Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard £119.99
1 x BeQuiet Pure Power L8 500W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply - With 120mm Silent Wing Fan Built in £53.99
1 x TeamGroup Elite 4GB (1x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz Single Channel Module (TED34GM1600C1101) £31.99
Total : £566.54 (includes shipping : £8.00).
Is it the best bang for buck?
Also, there's only 4GB of RAM to keep costs down and the plan is to get another 4GB a month or so after.
Thanks!
