to start with i don't have a set budget, but the most intense game this will have to run is gw2 ( on whatever setting runs best) and i was wondering if the



"AMD X4 Raid" AMD FX-4 4100 3.6GHz DDR3 Quad Core Gaming System"AMD X4 Raid" AMD FX-4 4100 3.6GHz DDR3 Quad Core Gaming System


would be able to run it on medium to high? or even run it at all. if not what would be my next best option in terms of low budget but enough power to run most games i throw at it, with the exception of crisis 3 battlefield 3/4 and all the other high end games.
 
the budget is around £550. that's just the PC, i all-ready have a monitor, keyboard, mouse.

i still think self build is a very good option, i'm just a bit scared of screwing something up so might need to watch a few video's on it, i've been told its not so hard though.
 
so that one is off the list. any other low end cost machines on OC uk that are worth the look? if not could someone help me choose the parts for a custom build please?
 
trying not to be so uninformed here, but what is a trinity setup? and with regards to the SSD, i could just save money on that now and get a new monitor? then add the SSD in later when i have the money? all it does is speed up loading times?

and still me not know enough about computers here..... but i'm guessing that i can also add another graphics card to this whenever i like? or would that not be necessary, and if it is possible would it require a bigger case?
 
Thanks for the advice guys, definitely going to build my own system, is the i5 machine really that much better than the trinity?and wouldn't i need a DVD RW drive also? plus i might have enough money for an SSD if that would fit into the build? will have to play with the figures see which fits the best. hoping to order custom parts by tomorrow with you guys helping me. tempted to go for the benq monitors too, nothing quite as good as them for that price range, especially with the offer saving a bit of cash this week.

also what mainboard would turn this into a high end PC?


P.S i cant thank you guys enough for helping me with this, wouldn't have got anywhere without you all <3

yeah i see where your coming from, after adding everything up its come to a bit more than i expected to pay, haven't added in the OS yet, any suggestions on what one to get?
 
ok, final question i think. will i need any other leads, tools, software, etc to make the computer run/build it? i know i will need some screwdrivers, and some cable ties i think
 
got all the stuff i need i think. ordering the parts tomorrow, in time for college. i will be posting pictures of my progress here, hoping all goes well.


Edit: that HD 7950 only has 1 hdmi slot, how would i connect 2 monitors to it? and before i order will i need a CPU cooler?
