Please use BBCode when exporting a build!

 

Also what is your planned usage of this computer? also what is your maximum budget?

Why 8350? your graphics card is really underpowered. Go for an i3 with a 760 or something.

 

EDIT:

 

I hate PC part picker, but if i must use it, here is my recommendation:

And then of course, you can put your peripherals on top of that.

 

Oh yeah, to confuse you further, if you want an overclockable one here is one for the same price, but you sacrifice the SSD

pentium g3258 would probably be better than an i3 as you easily can overclock the hell out of it and its cheap.

But with a budget of £800, he doesn't want a Pentium I mean, that is minus fucking man points

They both are dual core CPUs, and the G3258 is quite new, compared to something such as the i3 4130 the Pentium overclocks much much better, costs less, and performs better in situations where the i3's hyper threading is not used, though even in some situations the Pentium still will surpass it.

Man points and pride do not obey the laws of logic

hey if he gets an fx 8350 ......8 cores on 64 bit games that benefit from them i.e. battlefield 4 ....plus you wont need to upgrade your chip which is a pain compared to upgrading your gpu down the line...

@pugh93,

 

Don't bother with the aftermarket fans, they can always be added later. Put the money into a better gpu, Sapphire 11217-01-20G.

Hi pugh,

 

On the pc parts list that you put I saw that your choice for HDD fell on WD Green. These hard drives are designed for secondary storage in most cases.

I would recommend you to chose WD Blue which is for general everyday usage. Drive specs. you can find here: http://wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=770#Tab3

 

Hope you find this useful.
