So one of my mates wants to get into PC gaming but only has a budget of around £300, £350 max. I've advised him on the 5800k but not too sure on other parts. He needs CPU, Board, RAM, PSU, Case and storage (I assume hard drives for the set budget). Thanks
 
Thanks for the suggestions, I'll show him the thread. I think we'll end up buying zak's original 5800k build :) Quick question, difference between a85 and a55? I have an f2a55m, would just like to know the differences?

The A85X chipset adds USB 3.0 and SATA 6Gb/s
 
Sorry to jump in on your thread, I'm also building a £300 build for my cousin.

I'm abit baffled about this new APU technology.

So an APU is a CPU that will provide gaming GPU quality?

The build listed above with the AMD A10-5800k to what performance of today's on the market AMD GPU does it match e.g 7770 etc
 
The APU still holds well in games, especially if your playing at 720p. 1080p you may find to be a bit more limited. The 7770 is better than a A10, however you do get what you pay for.
