Hi all,

I've been looking for a decent mid range gaming rig for my nephew over the last couple of days, I have found a couple of deals which look okay. Just after some thoughts/feedback on the specs and if there is anything else out there on my budget?:

No competitor names and prices.

Cheers

Are you set on getting a pre-built system or can you build one yourself?

As gaming systems those look pretty poor.

Don't get the AMD one, that motherboard with that CPU can overheat/throttle and sometimes catch fire (no joke).

The 260X and 650ti aren't stunning GPU's...

This is a better option:

YOUR BASKET
1 x "AMD X6 Liberator" AMD FX-6 6300 3.5GHz (4.1GHz Turbo) Six Core Gaming PC £305.05
- 1 x Standard Build Systems - Approximately 5-7 working days £0.00
- 1 x 24 MONTH WARRANTY - COLLECT & RETURN £0.01
- 1 x Antec 300 Three Hundred Ultimate Gaming Case - Black £49.99
- 1 x Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-Bit - OEM (GFC-02050) £67.99
- 1 x No Memory Upgrade £0.00
- 1 x Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM (ST2000DM001) HDD £65.99
- 1 x No Second Hard Drive Option (ZERO Cost) £0.00
- 1 x KFA2 GeForce GTX 660 EX OC 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £155.99
- 1 x No Sound Card Upgrade £0.00
Total : £666.02 (includes shipping : £17.50).

 
If you can build it yourself, you will get a better overall system.

YOUR BASKET
1 x HIS Radeon R9 270X IceQ X2 Boost 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £149.99
1 x AMD Piledriver FX-8 Eight Core 8320 Black Edition 3.50GHz (Socket AM3+) Processor - Retail £119.99
1 x Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0 AMD 970 (Socket AM3+) DDR3 Motherboard £79.99
1 x Microsoft Windows 8.1 64-Bit DVD - OEM (WN7-00614) £71.99
1 x TeamGroup Elite Black 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (TED38GM1600HC11DC01) £56.99
1 x Corsair Builder Series CX 500w Modular '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply (CP-9020059-UK) £55.99
1 x Corsair Carbide 200R Compact ATX Case - Black (CC-9011023-WW) £47.99
1 x Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM (ST1000DM003) HDD £42.95

Hi Doomedspeed,

I have built PC's in the past but just don't want the hassle this time. The rig you specified from Overclockers looks good and presumably they use better quality parts than the ones I listed?

Cheers
