Budget LAN pc

[Warthoger89]

Hey guys, thank you for taking your time to try and help me out. I am looking to build a SFF ( small form factor ) gaming pc for my friends to use while they are at my place, or for me at their place. It needs to be small, portable and within the price range of 450$ - 600$ Canadian. Because I am 13 I am on a tighter budget, ( yeah I said 13 ) if you can save me some money I would be very grateful. keyboard, mouse, monitor and headset not required. my baseline requirements are it needs to play games like BF3 on high settings at 1080p 30FPS minimum. also if it could have a built in Wi-Fi adapter that would be nice, my original plan was to base it off of of an AMD quad core CPU, but I'm considering an i3 or a Pentium now. I'm open to options as long as they fit the budget, thanks again and have a great day.

 

These parts were my original plan...

 

• Bitfenix Prodigy ( Preferably White ) 74.99 $
• AMD Athlon X4 750k ( 3.4 GHz ) 78.99 $
• Gigabyte A58 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard 62.99 $
• AMD Heat sink and Fan ( Cones with CPU )
• Gigabyte R7 265 2 Gb 169.99 $
• Patriot Viper 4 Gb DDR3 RAM ( 1 x 4 Gb ) 44.99
• Corsair 500w CX series 64.99

Total price: 496.94 $ Canadian ( not including shipping and taxes )

I chose the prodigy so my components could have some extra room to breath and because it's easy to carry around.

Looks pretty good.

It will get you started and will give you pretty good performance for the money.

But if you go with @Deletive s build you can play pretty much any game on ultra if you turn the shadows down.

thanks, I already have a gaming pc of my own,. this is for if I want to bring it to a friends house or if a friend wants to play it at my house but it serves the purpose.

Then the rig you have planned there is good. It is nice and small while it still packs a punch for the budget.
