New System required

[Droolinggimp]

Hi guys.

It's been a very long time since last upgrading or building a PC and would like one to surpass my ancient hardware.

Current system.

Athlon X2 250 @3.00 GHz
4 GB ram
Win 8.1
GTX 650

Now my budget is around £600. Preferably no more.

I don't need:

• Monitor
• Hard drives
• Mouse
• Keyboard
• Speakers or sound card (I am presuming MoBo will have on board sound anyway)
• DVD drive (Upgrading to a BluRay drive may be an option though)

I will be playing games such as Cities: Skylines, Elite: Dangerous, GTAV and possibly more graphic hungry games.

I am at work today so I will check thread on breaks.

The case is one of the old primo systems OCUK sold years ago. The psu is they one that came with it. Hard drives are sata iirc.

Yeah the PSU is an Own brand one. I am guessing the case and PSU you posted will be the best option. Unless I can see a nice case that takes my fancy..

Sorry to reply late.. I Have been reading the GTA V thread on the forums and there are loads of combinations of setups, CPU, RAM amount and Graphics cards. Would that basket run GTA V well. I have looked around for specs and comparisons but it's doing my head in.

Worth investing in a more powerful PSU and maybe Nvidia GFX? (I have a bit of a like for Nvidia) Oh and RAM? I use PS a lot and was thinking that will help. Maybe upping it to 16GB

Isn't the new PSU less powerful than the first one? 550w v 520w or doesn't wattage matter anymore?

Edit: just read, Very power efficient..

 

[Droolinggimp]

Would OcUK build this for me or would it be delivered all boxed and separate?

Ok cheers for your help. Very much appreciated. If I buy this I will buy a bottle of Cava and smash it against the case and name it Stulid. Then return it it due to water damage.
