Ive a budget of 350 and looking for the best machine i can get for that money. It will mostly be used for games. I understand it wont be cutting edge for that cost.

TIA

Kind regards,

Lol you wouldnt even be able to get DECENT gfx for that.. considering you'd probably want SLI or Crossfire.. But I would say no to your question :P

Don't quote me on it.. I may be wrong..
 
i would have thought £50 budget on a graphics card would be able to play games albleit at low settings leaving 300 for the rest?

What's 'The Rest'? Have you already got any of these:

Monitor? Keyboard/Mouse? O/S?

What games you thinking of playing? At what res? Can you live with not high GFX? Will you be doing anything else with the PC?

If you could answer all those questions I would make you a spec ;):D
 
Tower only please. No o/s, no monitor, keyboard or mouse.

1280x1024 res and just general fps games
 
sli crossfire ?? why on earth he want that ? some people make me laugh at there gfx requirements.

anyway dont know if you need case ? or windows os ? and i pray that 350 dont inculde tft lol anyway best i can do is £370 over clock the cpu to 3gig should be nice system for the money :) and run all recent games decently :). unless you got a 24 inch monitor ? lol

Quite hard to do for £350...

If you need the case as well then I had to go for the case + PSU. If you don;t need a case then take off £20.

To save a bit more you could get a P31 board but savings would be minimal...

To save a bit more a smaller HDD and droping down to the 2160...
