[Mariusmssj]

hello there guys

thing is i got £500 as my budget and i was wondering could you lend me your knowledge in building the new PC, what i will use the pc for is Gaming, and i was hoping i could hook it up to my tv 32" supports HDMI

so if it's not too hard for you could you advise me on what hardware to get, thanks in advance

[edit (Kennysevenfold) just the desktop, so CPU, motherboard, RAM, GPU, PSU, case, fan ect.]

WOW just wow, that's a lush build =) thank you, thank you, thank you so much
you think it will work nice with W7???

and what about asus overclock capabilities???

 

[Kennysevenfold]

lol.!!

That would eat most games for breakfast never mind W7

TBH i wouldnt see much point in overclocking that to more than ~3.0Gz tbh, anything more would be a waste unless video encoding etc.

that motherboard and stock cpu cooler is more than capable of such a mild overclock.

i see, i have e5200 went from 2.5Ghz to 3.27Ghz just fine, so trying out AMD is really new thing to me xD but i will try my best

Kennysevenfold again i just want to say thanks
