Hi guys i was advised by few guys to post in here as i have a budget gaming rig project and i had a list sorted for parts but after few comments i could save more money and improve on it etc so i thought why not give you a budget and what i will be using the PC for etc

here is link to my project: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?p=23238745#post23238745

My budget is £550 Max but i much prefer something around the £490-£500 mark.

Games i be playing will be FPS/RTS games so:

-CSS+CS:GO
-BlackOps 2
-BF3
-Starcraft 2
-C&C

Thanks guys

Nice spec list, thing is these are on this week only so by next week it will be more

RJC · 25 Nov 2012 at 16:54

This Week only changes on Wednesday's.

When are you looking to buy, it might be worth asking for a build nearer the time as prices change all the time.

Least this gives you a rough idea of spec.

Next Friday is my payday and i will only be buying Processor, Mother Board and Power supply. Then Dec 28th arrives i will buy the rest parts needed.

That's a long time to wait, if you're old enough couldn't you just take out a loan, and then payback on paydays?

No can do am afraid, had issues with payday stuff (wonga) and after this month im free from them so i dont want to step back into that hell. Plus interest would go through roof so not worth the bother. Im happy being patient and buying main parts this month and rest next.

RJC · 25 Nov 2012 at 17:01

Bump this thread next week and we can redo the spec with only the parts required.

MarkJr · 25 Nov 2012 at 17:01

Whatever floats your boat!

Snomad · 25 Nov 2012 at 17:01
