PC Build

[wkelly]

I have decided to build a pc and I have spent a while planing it out. I have created a pc part picker and have a budget of about £400.00 including oporating system. I am close to buying the parts and just want the build checked to see if it will work and be ok. If people have suggestions on what to change it will be helpful as this is the first time i am going to build a pc.

 

Here is the link: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/wkelly/saved/

 

I am also going to get the operating system from reddit Microsoft software swap.

 

Please Help!

4330 is a bit faster but still.

[MRE Teck]

Seems good but get a different harddrive or even a hybrid drive

I have chosen a hybrid drive.

[wkelly]

So AMD Athlon X4 860K or Intel Pentium g3258

[Manny Calavera]

Have you got any benchmarks?

if you overclock athlon to like 4.5Ghz in future its all good, and according to HWbot even better than i3

 

just get better gpu if you want  build to last

 

like this

buy best you can now or you might not like to lower graphical settings

 

260x is like buying a ps4, but for likw 20 pound or so you get

[Starelementpoke]

Pretty sure the 260x is better than the ps4.

[Manny Calavera]

Pretty sure the 260x is better than the ps4.

ps4 has more stream processors

Seagate makes more at least known drives but this may just be like the difference between Seagate or WD
