Hi there,
I am new to these forums as well as being new to building PC's but thought i would give it a go to save money!
I am looking to build myself a decent system on a fairly tight budget.
I have a Monitor so no need to include this in the spec.
Budget: £500 or as near as poss
I would prefer to use an AMD CPU as value for money i think they are excellent - so could you base your suggestions on that please.
The case: I am not bothered about windows, lights and all that stuff... i would take it or leave it. As long as it cools well, looks good, not too big im happy!
I dont tend to hold a lot of stuff on my PC so you may take that in to consideration when picking a HD as 1TB would be a waste of money to me.
FYI this pc is going to be used for gaming purposes. (Mainly CS so constant 100fps in all situations is a must but i would aldo be playing newer games etc)
Hope that all make sense and i feel like i have covered all the basics of what i need.
Thank you for your help in advance.
George.
