The title pretty much says it all, someone gave me the challenge of fitting a gaming computer with either a 7850 or 7870 inside of a £349 budget.

This is the best i've been able to do so far :/

Get rid of that AWFUL FX4100 and put a 965 in there or even a x6 if you can find one, will give you wayyyy better performance.

Currency conversion put's that PC at $225 more than what the ps4 is priced at for me 50% more expensive. Plus no peripherals or OS.

 

But pretty nice would be able to run games pretty well.

Athlon 750K or 965 BE instead of 4100. Also, get a motherboard with like, Sata III or something like that. That one seems pretty crappy IMO

Those are more expensive than actually getting a 4100 or 6300 :/
