PC Build for BF1 - £500 possible?

i mean my thought behind it was using what Daaave had suggested, then adding case + monitor to that and possibly a slightly better GFX card if the budget let me

as i said I dont know anything about hardware and whats good / compatible, i just know how to put it together.

obviously if its not possible then that's fine and i'd have to sacrifice the monitor until a later date

appreciate everyones help so far and apologies if i dont seem grateful because i am
 
If you bought these,

Dropped the overclocking, case and reused the memory.

Intel Core i5-4690 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor
Biostar Hi-Fi H81S2 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Kingston SSDNow UV400 240GB 2.5" Solid State Drive

That's about the biggest upgrade you can make for sub £800.

If you want to move to 2560x1440 or higher then a faster graphics card would be the way to go.
 
 
£200 on a non-K Haswell :eek:

Its still going to perform fine for your use but if buying new these days it seems a shame not to go Skylake. It would mean getting DDR4 RAM though as there are no Skylake DDR3 motherboards in stock now.
 
Skylake option, a bit over budget but you could sell a few old bits to make some back? It would also overclock to ~4.5ghz easily :)

It is good, but just keep in mind you drop 4x300Mhz worth of performance with the Skylake.

This is true, and despite small IPC improvements from Haswell to Skylake, the 6500 is a little slower. I would aim for the 6600K for a few extra quid as overclocking is really easy anyway :)
 
Morning folks,

Pay day has been, I've booked off Thursday / Friday to do the build and am going to order it today :D Can someone just give this a once over and confirm it is all compatible? I upgraded the RAM to 16GB and reduced the SSD to 120gb as the 240 one mentioned is out of stock! Also just a quick question how easy are SSD's to install? Never used one before.

1 x Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB SATA 6Gb/s 16MB Cache - OEM (WD5000AAKX)
1 x XFX Pro 450W Core Edition '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply
1 x BitFenix Merc Alpha Gaming Case - Black
1 x OcUK 22x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM
1 x BitFenix Spectre 120mm Fan - White
 
Hi Jigger,

Thanks, hadn't noticed that was 4 x 4 , I've now changed too 2 x 8 and placed the order, being delivered tomorrow :) I have the afternoon off work to complete the build and can't wait! Will post back once done.

Thank you to everyone for all the help, it was really appreciated.
