My first PC need help!

[Mart_C_2410]

So I currently have an Acer aspire 5732 Z laptop which won't play any of my games except Team Fortress 2 and Minecraft (incredibly slowly). I am looking at getting my first desktop gaming PC and am wondering what is the best I can get for around £650. I would like an Intel core i5 processor or AMD FX 8350 quad core, 600W power supply and 1GB or 2GB graphics card but apart from that I am not fussed (unless there is better products for cheaper money ) and 8 or 6 gb of ram. The games I am looking to play are Arma 2, Black ops II, CoD: WaW, Counter Strike source and probably Cs go.

Look at the overclockers pre built systems, you'll get loads for your budget.

Get an increased and go from there...

Oh and iiyama make cracking panels.

No real need to go over 500-550 watt in my opinion, i doubt you would get near it with a single card. Although if you want to you have £40 spare still

For a system, that's about what you should get. But then maybe you might need display, OS, dvd drive, mouse / keyboard, speakers... That can add to the budget quite a lot.

Thanks, i'll probably go with the 500W ps, and i'll probably spend the extra on a different case (Coolermaster Silencio 550) and a dvd drive is there somewhere/one that will put it together? I was kind of looking for a prebuilt

 

[Bromhead]

Yep if you give overclockers a call and talk to the sales team they can put it together for you for a small fee I imagine. With that you also get 2 years warranty I believe, best giving them a call.

Alternatively you could give it a go building it, it's not as difficult as it probably appears but they would be your two options generally speaking

OcUK charge £130 to build it and test it etc.
Alternatively pick up one of their prebuilds. As its already been said however building is easy.
