Hi

Second hand will be your best bet at that price... Will you need OS, Peripherals and Monitor?

Aaron777 · 28 Dec 2017 at 01:44

no i will not need OS or peripherals, any chance u can help me look for one or even build on on pc part picker?

This is what i would select, The left over £70 will get you the CPU that is ideal but not in stock at OCUK..

Look elsewhere for the Intel G4560 CPU...

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x **B Grade** Asus H110-Plus Intel H110 (Socket 1151) DDR4 ATX Motherboard= £45.00
1 x Kingston Fury White 8GB (1x8GB) DDR4 PC4-17000C14 2133MHz Single Channel Module (HX421C14FW2/8)= £89.99
1 x XFX XT Series 500W 80 Plus Bronze Power Supply= £42.95
1 x WD Blue 1TB 7200rpm SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache HDD - OEM (WD10EZEX)= £41.99
1 x Asus GeForce GT 1030 OC 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card= £64.99
1 x Bitfenix Nova Midi Tower Case - Black Window= £31.99

Total: £329.21 (includes shipping: £12.30)

The 1030 GPU is actually a good performer for its price but wont run games on highest settings. If you could up your budget abit and squeeze in a 1050Ti your laughing...

so all of this plus a cpu is everything i need to build a gaming pc

Minibiker · 28 Dec 2017 at 21:24

Yeah this will get the ball rolling and then you just upgrade/add to it as and when... As mentioned above you could find a nice used GPU instead of the 1030

Aaron777 · 29 Dec 2017 at 19:54

i would this all be compatible and or do i need anything else for it to run

Minibiker · 29 Dec 2017 at 20:06

That will be fine and is all you need to get going.. The Intel G4560 is just as good processor for less money but not in stock, so if you want to order from OCUK then this will probably be your best bet mate

Use the free gtx 760

New coffeelake i3 is 4 cores/4 threads instead of 2 cores and 4 threads of old models.

SSD for OS

Also running single channel ram when gaming hurts, not sure if I'll get time to remove a stick and show but ram rates tend to jump around. Some reason skylake, kabylake and coffeelake gets it , older gen single stick wasn't as much
