My First Computer Build

[Spicy-Carlos]

Hi i'm planning on building my own PC for my birthday. I have around a £400 budget, i have already got monitor, mouse, keyboard and speakers. These are what seem like a good idea but idk much so far. I mainly play TF2 and Minecraft but planning on playing Portal 2.

So here's my plan:

BUNDLE{
Motherobard: Asrock N68c-5

CPU: AMD ATHLON 250 3.0 Ghz

RAM: 4GB DDR3 1333 PC 10660 OEM

ALL = £112.95 +FREE POSTAGE
}BUNDLE

GPU: ATI RADEON 5750 = £83.89 + FREE POSTAGE

CASE: CoolerMaster Storm Scout Case = £61.98 + FREE POSTAGE

POWER SUPPLY: OCZ 500W ModXStream Pro Power Supply = £34.50 + £3.25 postage

OPTICAL DRIVE:LG GH22NS50.AUAA 22x SATA DVDRW Drive - Bare Black = £12.49 + FREE POSTAGE

HDD: Seagate OEM 500GB Barracuda 3.5 inch 7200.12 = £30.47 + FREE POSTAGE

If you were happy to go with the CM 430 and psu bundle then that would give you extra money for gpu/cpu.

get a PSU and case combo from the worlds favourite auction site for less money. There are quad core 3.0GHZ bundles with mobo and 4gb RAM for £160 on there too.

Also, consider a used graphics card. Saves you a fortune, and you can get some seriously nice gear for low cash
