Spec me up £450 gaming PC

MireMare · 31 Mar 2015 at 15:06

My friend is entering into the PC gaming world.

He has a GPU already - Gigabyte Windforce GTX 670 - but needs everything else apart from Windows.

He's keen on a micro size gaming machine as it's going to be a living room device and space is at a premium.

1080p gaming.

I'll help him put it all together when he gets the stuff from Overclockers.

Any suggestions would be most welcome, thanks.

Thanks. Looks top

Might tell him to order a modular psu as it's nicer to set up, last one I bought was OCZ but those guys have bitten the dust, what's the current equivalent on overclockers these days? Corsair?

Its all about superflower these days.

Corsair use a mixture of OEM to make their PSUs and the low end ones are not as great as they use to be in the past.

But heres a decent (made by Seasonic) semi-modular PSU - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-181-AN
