Hello,

I'm new to OCUK and I've been shopping around a few pc sites looking for a really low budget pc for everyday use with some gaming thrown in. Specifically, I'm looking to mostly play MMOs like WoW/Aion and games like Starcraft II/Diablo 3 on medium settings if I could. My budget is £300-£350 but judging from what I've seen so far, the lowest everyone seems to be offering for a budget gaming pc seems to be closer to £400 so this is what I've picked on OCUK.

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-344-OE

I did tweak it a little bit and opted for a 1TB HHD and the AMD HD 7750 graphics card instead. It brings it to $380. I've tried to do a customize config but I couldn't get it cheaper than that.

So long story short, does anyone think I can get it better than that or whether its good at all? Any advice, comments and suggestions are welcomed and appreciated.

Thanks for your time guys, and I really like it here. :D
 
The best I could do. You'll have to live without case USB 3 ports. The 5800k APU is perfectly fine for games and coupled to the fast ram will be fine..can be overclocked too.

What this guy said

For the budget it is the best system you can get and at a later time you could add to it to get better performance.

adding a 6670 like this one
YOUR BASKET
1 x MSI HD 6670 2048MB GDDR3 PCI-Express Graphics Card £55.99
Total : £61.97 (includes shipping : £4.98).



will add crossfire to your system which will help performance a lot when you have spare money.

Adding an after market cpu cooler like this one
YOUR BASKET
1 x Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler £26.99
Total : £32.96 (includes shipping : £4.98).



will mean you can overclock your cpu to get better performance out of it and yet again will add overall performance.

good luck

See now I used to think that, but the 5800k should be more overclockable due to running much cooler than the 6800k. Plus, when you look at benchmarks the 6800k comes out 2-4 fps quicker. In my book that doesn't make it a bargain.
 
 
Wow, thanks for all the feedback and suggestions so far guys. I don't have much in depth knowledge about benchmarks and things so forgive me if I ask stupid questions and get a little lost.

I forgot to mention, I won't be able to build it myself hence why I had to go through the OCUK configurator and pre-built systems on the site. I really have no clue how to put a computer together or else I would do it myself and probably save myself £50 or more.

As for overclocking it because I still have to shop around for a decent monitor to go with my pc, it will be dependant on how much this will all cost me first and if I even have money at the end, so based off a purely stock performance would the 5800 better or 6800? Also, forgive if I'm wrong, but I don't see anyone including a graphics card or is this suppose to be integrated?

Thanks again for all the help guys.

it would depend on how they both perform after overclocking. just because a chip runs cooler dont make it a better clocker 99% of the time its the look of the drew. but only 1% better at stock make the 5800k better at stock speed with the price difference
