£300 Budget Mini Gaming PC

spence55

I'm in need of a mini gaming PC because it's hard carrying around my big main rig to go to Lan Parties. Would this budget system do the job?

 

My main rig : http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/147558-my-personal-rig-2014/

 

Specs - 

MSI H61I-E35-V2/W8 Motherboard Mini ITX

Intel i3 3220 3.3GHz CPU with stock heatsink

Corsair XMS3 4GB 1333MHz x1 (will add a second to make 8GB later on, but 4GB will do for now)

Elite 130 Mini ITX Case with G550M 550W Modular PSU

MSI GTX 750 OC 1GB Graphics Card

500GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 (already had lying around)

 

All New parts, apart from HDD

 

Total Cost : £307
