Quick gaming spec

[Cyanide]

Hi guys,

Could someone whip up a quick spec for me please?

I'm in need of a small gaming rig that's going to be cheaper to run than my aging media editing rig. I've got a few bits (case, HDDs etc) I may be able to carry over but if you could give a full spec I'll see what it looks like and decide what to keep later.

I won't be doing hardcore gaming, mostly RPGs and RTS as a lot of my gaming's done on the Xbox now. I'm looking at £500ish but it's not a fixed budget, I do need it quite compact, very quiet and energy efficient though!

Thanks,

Dan

FWIW I've got a Silverstone TJ08B, couple of HDD/SSD's, 120mm AIO cooler and (if it's got enough grunt) a 430w Seasonic PSU I can re-use.

What Seasonic PSU is that? It may not have enough PCIe connectors for a new GPU..

Only a single pcie connector on it

In that case you can use a molex to PCIe adaptor.
