Spec me a build :)

[Geo-Gamer]

Hey guys, my little brother wants to leave his console behind and switch to pc gaming.

His budget is £800.

He does not need a monitor, mouse or keyboard.

He needs everything else including Windows 10.

He will be playing games such as the new battlefield 1, GTA 5 etc

Hopefully you lovely people can help and spec a cost effective system for his budget xD

Much appreciated!

Wait till the 29th, AMD new R9 480 for £200ish will be released and will make a nice system I hope.

Excellent advice, I dont know much about the AMD cards as i tend to read up more about Nvidia.

But will the AMD R9 480 have more bang for buck than the Nvidia cards?

The 450W PSU should be enough for the 480 card, I reckon it will be very power efficient as its built on a very small transistor node.

Bloody hell , you nailed it!

Surprised how cheap the Corsair SSD is as i just picked up a Samsung EVO SSD 250gb for £79 :|

I will order those parts for him and when the 480 arrives il just slot that in

Thanks for your time mate, highly appreciate it!
