System for £300

Drake5 · 28 May 2013 at 08:58

As title, looking for a system build for £300.00.

Ideally to be used as light gaming with room to upgrade in the future.

No OS or DVD Drive needed, literally it's just the system.

I don't know if this is possible on a £300 budget, but let's see.

Cheers

+1 The AMD APU line is perfect for entry level gaming, tho you could wait a couple of weeks as "Richland" should be released then for the FM2 socket which should offer an improved iGPU for gaming on.

+1 to all of the above.

Grab that RAM now, that price for 2400Mhz RAM is amazing.

Will be a great entry level Rig..

Haswell all over again.
