hey hey hey all I have recently completed well nearly my 3rd pc build all are budget builds spending around £200 ish apart from my main build that is ongoing and being upgraded every so often.

 

i will update this later on when i get home with more specs and pics, but never the less here we go

 

my main build mitx prodigy build

 

Pulse 650W psu atx ff

 

intel i5 3rd gen (waiting on arrival)

 

h61mv-itx motherboard

 

had a nvidia 440 gpu 2gb (going in my next build (3) ) but upgraded to a 640 1gb asus

 

500gb wd black hdd

 

case: bitfenix prodigy

 

Corsair CMZ4GX3M1A1600C9 4GB 1600MHz CL9 DDR3 Vengeance Memory Module

 

Need to find a decent cpu fan for £45 or less

 

already got keydoard and mouse and a decent dvdrw drive from my broke 3yr old pc (from our time now) and a wifi usb adaptor cause i live in my bedroom apart from at work :)

 

 

 

build 2:

 

This build was for my step sister for going to uni cause her laptop broke plus it's harder i find to break a desktop than a laptop and harder to rob if it is plugged in and it is an itx build again for space saving.

 

case: cit mini itx w 3oow psu (black cube one with mesh)

 

zotac apu motherboard w nvidia ion graphics found it used on ebay but it was hardly used and nocked the seller down to about £40 from £50 so yeah deal

 

already had some spare ddr2 ram for the mb that included a free 1 or 2gb stick

 

£12 samsung dvd drive (not rw :sadface: )

 

and i also had a spare keyboard and mouse for that aswell

 

 

 

build 3: work in progress using spare parts i had 

 

amd motherboard (forgot make and model no cheep one too) socket am3 

 

amd phenom ii x2 cpu (no fan included when bought)

 

cpu fan  Titan DC-K8M925B/R 

 

spare nvidia 440 2gb gpu form my main build

 

fractal design core 1000 case

 

1 artic f9 pro if it will fit

 

just need to get a 250 - 500gb hdd for it and a keyboard and mouse

 

 

so this build no.3 will be my take it around build lan party on holiday at the caravan or going to my mums pc XD.

 

thanks for reading please comment if you want telling me what you think about those

 

 

also just for extras my main build can run minecraft on far full everything at like 50fps

 

the 2nd build can run it at low settings at about 20-30 fps

 

and my 3rd one can run at normal at like 90fps

 

They can also play stuff like terraria and most indie games including hotline miami all at full resolution apart from the university mitx build but they are able to play games like dungeon defenders at a good rate (my main build all top settings no sweet) (2nd build all at low preset tiny bit laggy i imo) (build 3 all at medium to high no lag at all)
