Need Mediocre Gaming Rig - £400 :( :(

RSXVPS · 13 Sep 2011 at 21:41

Hello, Long time reader first time posted, Aaah what a cliche.

What I said above is partly true, I have been visiting these forums for years. However in the past 18 months I have not really had the time to visit at all, nor keep up with desktop components and technology.

I would very much appreciate you help with speccing up a build and pricing it also.

It will be used for some medi-core gaming - Im not that fussed about playing everything in the highest settings. Hoping to play the new games coming out over the coming months.

My budget for this is only £400 and that is to include a monitor. Shock horror I know.

Thanks for your input in advance.

Regards
RSXVPS

Thank you, I was thinking something similar to this, But may try to save £15 on the case

.

I guess I can pass this off as a business expense too to claim back some of that lovely TAX the government insists on charging us.

+1 to RJC's spec. with a bit of shopping around or re-using components from an old pc you could definitely shave some £ off it to get nearer your budget

over budget, but this will get you much better gaming performance than RJC's spec
