Hi all,
I've been away from the wonderful world of PC builds for a while, last build was a x2 Athlon.
However although I've been console gaming with a 360 I've got to the point where the only new system that cuts the mustard for what I need is a new PC build.
My basic requirements originally was Intel system 1150 with 8gig ram, ssd and HD and as I don't overclock a certain degree of future proofing.
Graphics wise it had to have enough grunt to play high setting on the following type of games.
Total War series.
World of Tanks/War Thunder
Microsoft flight sim
Sims 3 (this is a given or wife will kill me
)
Supreme Commander serious.
Skyrim
Assassins Creed serious.
Budget wise I was trying to squeeze into £500 however I failed drastically as shown below and yesterday those items below where around £580
I,m so open to suggestion as budget was tight to begin with and I'm unsure if this build will gel together well.
Cheers
