Hi folks
Looking to build a small form factor (ish) budget build for the light gaming that I do. It has to be a small form factor for space, my existing system takes up a stupid amount of room under my desk and is barely stretched with the small amount of gaming I actually do, seems kind of pointless having it really!
I'm debating the following:
AMD Athlon 860K
Asus A88X-Plus mATX
Avexir 2400 DDR3 8GB
Sapphire R285 Dual-X OC
£352 plus delivery for that lot.
I already have a Corsair 350D case, Superflower PSU, SSD and HDD for the build but still need a cooler as I'll probably OC a bit on the CPU. I could ditch the GPU as I have an old MSI GTX 670 OC in a drawer doing nothing,
Most of the games I play are older titles (Borderlands series, Warhammer 40K, Bioshock, Euro Truck, Black Flag) but there are a couple of newer titles like Elite Dangerous, The Crew, GTA V and Shadow of Mordor. I don't mind turning the eye candy down a bit though, my eyesight can barely tell the difference anyway!! If there are any titles it can't run (Far Cry 4 for example) then I can just get those on XB1.
Worth going for this or are there better options?
