  3. Hi, I'm a 14 year old in the UK and are looking to build a system for around £400 including OS and keyboard/mouse.It would be used mainly for schoolwork (word and visual studio) and occasionally some games, so I would rather have something with a lesser graphics card and better CPU and maybe an SSD than a really good graphics card as i would be gaming at 720p. Any suggestions would be great!
  4. I have a friend with an old pre-built(-hard-drive and OS) who might be willing to sell me it, but i don't think he will. otherwise i don't really fancy buying stuff of ebay etc. because i want to do it soon because my dad goes away for a while soon and my mum would never let me build it on my own with the ram i was hoping i could overclock it up to 2133. also i was planning to add a lesser gpu in dual graphics to get through while i save for a better one like a 360/70. i don't think the long ethernet cable would really work for me because all of the walls in this house are solid brick so it would be hard to mount it to the wall easily, and my dad would just say to get a wifi adapter instead
  5. i would save more but the only income available to me is £5 a week pocket money which i spend on going climbing (im only 14)
  6. i would have gone for the g3258 but i wanted a quad core to be able to play far cry 4 (also one of the main reasons for building the pc in the first place) also my plan for upgrading was to get a gpu + ssd at around christmas time, then save for some much bigger upgrades and/or peripherals
  7. I'm a 14 year old in the uk that needs a gaming pc. I've been using my crappy laptop that has an i3 on integrated graphics and 6gb of RAM, and to be honest i wouldn't be surprised if it died tomorrow as it is a couple of years old and has a serious thrashing. My budget is strictly £350, and it will be used for gaming and school work. I have a monitor but need an OS (windows), keyboard and wifi adapter (my parents wont route ethernet to my room) and am expecting to upgrade it heavily in the future. This is what i have so far, any input would be much appreciated: PCPartPicker part list: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/nHmxqs Price breakdown by merchant: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/nHmxqs/by_merchant/ CPU: AMD A8-7650K 3.3GHz Quad-Core Processor (£74.33 @ CCL Computers) Motherboard: MSI A88XM-E35 Micro ATX FM2+ Motherboard (£40.08 @ Amazon UK) Memory: Kingston HyperX Fury Black 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory (£38.93 @ Ebuyer) Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (£32.40 @ Aria PC) Case: Cooler Master N200 MicroATX Mid Tower Case (£28.55 @ Amazon UK) Power Supply: EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply (£36.98 @ Scan.co.uk) Wireless Network Adapter: TP-Link TL-WN851ND 802.11b/g/n PCI Wi-Fi Adapter (£14.99 @ Novatech) Keyboard: Microsoft Wired Desktop 400 UK Wired Standard Keyboard w/Optical Mouse (£9.80 @ CCL Computers) Other: Windows 8.1 (£74.00) Total: £350.06 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2015-07-04 13:19 BST+0100
  8. you don't really need the 4790k for gaming, 4690k will do the trick just fine
  9. for 1080p just get any i5, 8gb of any ddr3-1600 dual channel kit, and GTX 970. rest of the parts don't really matter for performance unless you want to overclock, then make sure you get a 4690k, a good z97 motherboard, and a decent cpu cooler.

  11. You should be fine for 1080p gaming with the 970, and the 6 cores would help a lot with your content creation, but if you just want a baller gaming rig and the other stuff isn't as important, get the 980
