Budget UK Build

[Makweh]

Just wanted to know any budget builds (around £300-£500) in the UK, for a first time build for gaming. Anyone know any good builds?

JackFrags made a pretty good video on a PC build around that budget.

The OP asked for a build not a prebuilt system.

Well I will tell you now that you will want to go more for the £500 than the £300. You can match the performance of a PS4 for £350 but you'll have to cut corners and you can actually do pretty well for £500.

 

How about something like this:

 

Intel

CPU: Intel Core i5-4440 3.1GHz Quad-Core Processor  (£131.20 @ Aria PC) 

Motherboard: ASRock H81 Pro BTC ATX LGA1150 Motherboard  (£32.99 @ Amazon UK) 

Memory: Kingston 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory  (£51.44 @ Amazon UK) 

Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive  (£35.94 @ Aria PC) 

Video Card: XFX Radeon R9 270 2GB Double Dissipation Video Card  (£109.52 @ Scan.co.uk) 

Case: Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case  (£43.48 @ Aria PC) 

Power Supply: EVGA 500W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply  (£31.15 @ Aria PC) 

Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 (OEM) (64-bit)  (£72.35 @ Aria PC) 

Total: £508.07

 

AMD

CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor  (£74.34 @ Aria PC) 

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2 Micro ATX AM3+ Motherboard  (£33.36 @ Amazon UK)

Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive  (£35.94 @ Aria PC) 

Video Card: Gigabyte Radeon R9 280 3GB WINDFORCE Video Card  (£159.99 @ Amazon UK)

Thanks, I think I might use this build. But I would still need a monitor.
