Spec Me: ~£300 tower without GPU

[jakspyder]

Hey guys,

I've got a friend looking to get a new tower with a fairly tight budget of £300, he plays GW2 and eve online and has an AMD 5870 that will suffice at 1080p for now.

Needs a case and the rest of the internals. CPU mobo ram, 1TB HDD, PSU, disk drive.

Nothing flashy for the case, Just a plain clean box. The 5870 is reference so fairly long, not sure exactly what length though.

I'm totally out of the loop these days, and you guys are ridiculously good at squeezing some stupid performance at these kinds of prices!

Thank you for your time,

~Jack~

add a 1TB HDD or a 256GB Samsung SSD (£70) and thats £300 almost.


Edit, you can get the same case with a superflower 450W PSU,

They should rename this sub to "Ask Stulid" MVP for certain.

Its great that you can get quite a lot of bang for £300, especially with a GFX card already in hand.
