After some long amounts of searching I have found (I think) a nice entry level pc to get started on You Tube And gaming.

I want a bit of piece of mind to see if these will work together and are good for a entry level pc.

 

My parts:

  • Intel i3-4160 LGA 1150 3.5GHZ                                                     £81.99
  • MSI Z97 PC Mate LGA 1150                                                          £60.99
  • Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2X4GB) 240pin DDR3 Memory             £32.99
  • MSI Radeon R7 250 video card                                                     £54.99
  • Corsair CX series CX500M 500w power supply                            £39.99
  • Corsair Carbide series SPEC-01 Mid tower                                   £36.99
  • Cooler Master sleeve bearing 120mm silent fan (Duel pack)         £9.99
  • Seagate surveillance 2Tb Hard drive                                             £59.99
  • Total price                                                                                       £377.92

 

At the moment that is all I can pretty much do but if you have any other factors or better prices plz tell me. 

Thanks again

Will

Please at the minimum get an R7 370.

 

Also look at low End Seasonic PSUs along with some XFX ones. Any of them would work

 

EVGA also offers some great PSus such as the EVGA B2 Series.

Looks ok. I would swap the psu for anything but cx. It work but not great. Also get a 370 instead would be better and not so old.  WHy the Seagate 2tb surveillance drive? 

 Just because you don't care, doesn't mean other others don't. Don't be a self-centered asshole. -Thank You a PSA from the people who do not say random shit on the internet.

Get a h81 board and a better graphics card, also you dont need a surveillence drive, get a 1tb barracuda/WD Blue for like £30-£40

 

That will give you £60 + to put towards a graphics card

The R7 250 is the worst card available on market right now, afaik. It struggles in many, if not all newer games by itself. Recording at more than 10 FPS on minimal settings would be a miracle, imo.

Don't buy surveillance grade HDDs. It's been discussed before and the conclusion was that you take too much of a performance hit while using them.

I recently just got a 750Ti and only have a few games to play such as SpinTires, SpaceEngineers, and Farming Simulator 2015. I believe the 370 is close to performance with the 750Ti? Well I got the strix version at it maxxes all these games out. Also if you look at some benchmarks it can play GTA V 60FPS and I am gonna test Shadow Of Mordor later but my APU may struggle.

 

Dont get the 250, Doesn't Linus have a video on this also called a, "A Product You Shouldn't Buy"?

Edit: I don't know why everyone hates on the corsair CX series. Iv'e looked at the internals and they're above average for the price point. Even johnny guru gave that psu a 9 out of 10.

A few things I see wrong with this build.

 

1. don't need a CPU cooler.

2. don't need z97 unless you plan on upgrading to K chip in the future.

3. the motherboard has 3.0 headers, but the Case does not.

4. you went with AMD. (I'm just kidding, AMD has it's place at times.)

 

But saving more money is always the answer. :)

This build is the same price, you just need to ocnvert to the same currency. I went with AMD because at this budget, AMD is a better value.

Edit: I don't know why everyone hates on the corsair CX series. Iv'e looked at the internals and they're above average for the price point. Even johnny guru gave that psu a 9 out of 10.

 

Looks good to me and it would be cheeper

cheers

A few things I see wrong with this build.

 

1. don't need a CPU cooler.

2. don't need z97 unless you plan on upgrading to K chip in the future.

3. the motherboard has 3.0 headers, but the Case does not.

4. you went with AMD. (I'm just kidding, AMD has it's place at times.)

 

But saving more money is always the answer. :)

Look at the price of that z97 board it's the same price as a good H81 board so yeah why not.

A cpu cooler is always nice for quietness.

Seems much better than the above 600 build. And it doesn't have all the compatibility issues I mentioned. 
 
But this is off topic of OP original price range.

7800X3D - MSI B650 MAG Tomahawk - 32GB 6000mhz CL30 - Gigabyte 3080 TI - 2TB NVME - 1000w PSU - ID Cooling 240mm AIO

If you've got £400 for this, I'd go for one of these two options:

 

G3258 + 4GB GTX 960: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/8Fdg7P

 

860K + 2GB GTX 960: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/pV6mTW

 

Both include 8GB of 1866Mhz CL10 memory (cheapest 1600Mhz+ 8GB kit with nice heat spreaders available atm), a 1TB HDD (WD blue with the pentium, seagate barracuda with the 860K because it's a touch cheaper), both with a 450W seasonic PSU, and in a SG13B case. That case, it's tiny. Awesome tiny. Like, you could fit your whole rig (assuming you've a TKL keyboard), besides your monitor, in a backpack. Amazing for going round to mate's houses and having LAN parties. Assuming you've still the case for your monitor and it's not crazy big you could walk or even cycle with it.

Meow meow meow meow hiss meow purr.

Translation: what am I doing here?

I would suggest getting this guys build, the one with 860k, since there are games that wont even start on a dual core.

True, if you're going to be upgrading within a year and a half then I'd go with the pentium option though - hence its inclusion. :)

 

I made those builds earlier after I saw someone talking about that case, quite damned impressed with it. Think I've fallen in love with the thing. Might have to get one, a smaller PSU, ITX Z97 mobo and a 120mm AIO in there for myself to stick my 4790k + (soon - currently got a GTX 660) R9 390 rig in there depending upon what R9 390 I get (GPU clearance woes haha) for when I go on holiday/to LAN parties/mates' houses. MUCH more portable than my 650D pmsl
