New PC?

[felixhmorris]

Here double the RAM and HDD and it's new.. Could go for some B grade parts if you really wanted to try go on the cheap.

Just add a decent graphics card i.e. R9 270X for £149. Could also go for an i3 CPU instead for an extra £40 if you're gonna keep splashing cash on that shell anyway.

Really not worth spending circa £300 on that junk, it isn't upgradeable.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Gigabyte Z87-D3HP Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard £76.99
1 x Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (BLS2CP4G3D1609DS1S00CEU) £53.99
1 x Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM (ST1000DM003) HDD £43.99
1 x Intel Pentium G3220 3.0GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail £41.99
1 x EVGA 500W 80 Plus Power Supply (100-W1-0500-KR) £35.99
1 x BitFenix Comrade Midi-Tower - Black £29.99
Total : £282.94 (includes shipping : ).

What would you say about this system?

AMD X4 750K
Asus Radeon 7770 GHz Edition 1GB
MSI A55M-E33 Micro ATX FM2 motherboard
Kingston 4GB (2x2) RAM
1TB HDD
EVGA 430W PSU 80+ Certified

It's costing me £342.34 without a monitor, £400+ with..

That motherboard isn't needed for a Pentium, it's Z87 and the Pentium cannot be overclocked. That PSU isn't all that great either, only 80 plus. Ballistix ram is also generally incompatible with gigabyte boards, no idea why, but otherwise that looks good
