So my friend asked me to givev him a list of a good gaming rig with a budget of £500. The catch though is to be able to play Arma 3 on medium with at least 30 fps. So I decided to run with an intel CPU because of how Arma 3 eats CPUs but i was wandering if there were any better builds out there for the budget. Heres the build I did for him: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/ch8zGX Please let me know if there are any changes that could be done.

Okay so I started on a new build and I was wandering if all the components are funtional together. I don't have much money to blow but I'm willing to change a few things out. Note that I'm buying everything from amazon. Case: Zalman Z11 Midi Tower Case. I found this case really appealing and the fact that it came with 5 fans really swayed me over other cases. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Zalman-Z11-Supports-Installation-Filters/dp/B007BZS0GI/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1416004632&sr=1-2&keywords=zalman+z11 Motherboard: A Asus M5A97 R2.0 Motherboard seemed like a good choice If I wanted to run duel sli in the future. http://www.amazon.co.uk/M5A97-R2-0-Motherboard-PCI-Express-Flashback/dp/B008V9959O/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1416004107&sr=1-2&keywords=asus+m5a97+r2.0+atx+am3%2B+motherboard CPU: The AMD FX6300 Black Edition 6 Core seems to me the best cpu at this price range. http://www.amazon.co.uk/AMD-FX6300-Edition-4-1GHz-Socket/dp/B009O7YORK/ref=pd_cp_computers_0 GPU: EVGA Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 Superclocked ACX 2GB GDDR5 Graphics Card Orginally I was planning on getting the Gigabyte version of the GTX 760 with the windforce heatsink but I'm not too sure on wether that will fit into the case. http://www.amazon.co.uk/EVGA-Nvidia-GeForce-Superclocked-Graphics/dp/B00DMB6D8W/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1416004342&sr=1-2&keywords=gtx+760 RAM: I chose HyperX FURY Series 8GB (2x 4GB) DDR3 1866MHz becuase it was cheeper that G-Skill and Corsairs varients. http://www.amazon.co.uk/HyperX-Series-1866MHz-Memory-Module/dp/B00J8E91T0/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1416004519&sr=1-2&keywords=hyper+x+ram PSU: For the power supply I was not too sure on what wattage I should be going for. I was thinking for the future I might make some upgrades here and there I might as well invest into a Corsair Builder Series CX 600 Watt ATX/EPS 80 PLUS Bronze Power Supply Unit http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-Builder-Series-Bronze-Supply/dp/B009RMP44O/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1415984361&sr=1-1&keywords=600w+power+supply Heatsink: Cooler Master Hyper TX3 Evo Tower Cooler for CPU Some one told me I should get a larger heatsink but I dont know if it will fit in the case. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cooler-Master-Hyper-TX3-Tower/dp/B005HIRDUA/ref=sr_1_4?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1416005158&sr=1-4&keywords=heatsink Storage: At the moment I won't be putting an SSD in yet so Im stuck with one drive. The Seagate ST1000DM003 Barracuda 1TB 3.5 inch Hard Drive seems sufice. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Seagate-ST1000DM003-Barracuda-inch-Drive/dp/B006BRBSE8/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1416004817&sr=1-1&keywords=seagate+1tb I think thats about It Tell me if I've forgotten anything!
