£420

[SirBobson]

Hi guys,

I've been thinking about building a PC for a while now and am wondering what parts i would be able to get for this £420ish budget. Os peripherals and monitors not included. I intend to use for general internetting and mild gaming . Also I'd like to know which is better to spend more money on processor or graphics card?

The for your help

If you are gaming, more money on the GPU is a good idea. if you are not gaming, processor and ram is where you want to spend your money.

Thanks could you suggest a possible gaming build

Try this one, it's an ATX build, and while that GPU isn't extremely powerful, it should be more than enough for mild gaming, and with Intel i5 4th gen CPU, you can upgrade it later and get no bottleneck, and that PSU will be powerful enough for any single GPU upgrade you want

Go with this.

Change the 270x to a normal 270 as you can get the same performance with an overclock.

Also the XFX 450w only has one 6+2 pin so it would be better to get the 270
