Hello everyone,

 

 

I would like to build a pc for around £500. I want that pc to be able to play games from medium to high settings (CS.GO, Minecraft, TF2, GMOD, Euro Truck Sim 2, BF4) 30fps or even 60fps and higher would be appreciated. I also want to record these games at 60fps if possible and occasionally I would like to stream to twitch.

 

My location is London, United Kingdom. So please make prices in £

 

 

Budget: £500

 

Also please include windows 8.1 64bit with a cd drive.

 

 

I do not need any accessories/peripherals. Just a keyboard nothing special.

Use quicksync to record/steam.

The i3 is better than any amd offering at this price point for streaming/gaming.

I recommend getting a windows key on g2a/sofware swap.

I'd suggest this, while it may need a bios update it's incredibly unlikely that you'll have problems, where I work we haven't had any issues with this board and haswell refresh CPU's in around 6 months.

If you want an AMD CPU as well you can go this route, that being said I'd suggest the i3 option.

Here you go, If you want to upgrade in the future id recommend getting another R9 280 in crossfire and another set of RAM to have 16gb.
And it is quite overclockable.
You could also step up to a 8250 if you need more cores/performance.

It's not as powerful as other but ssd will make it quicker for normal use.

What about this? Can you add £8?
