My friends looking for a new computer that is able to run games such as Witcher 3 at medium for about £400(GBP).

Any help will be appreciated.

Witcher 3? I recommend that you get at least a GTX 660 as that's the minimum requirements for the game

Follow the topics you create using the "Follow" button in the top right corner!

One day I will have my GTX 970. One day. PC specs are at my profile.

Not sure how to check what part works with what? Check out my compatibility guide!

Don't go with mine, @OAcesync's or @zzenigmaxzz's builds please. (They're both virtually the same, take your pick)

Yeah, I saw the gpu price not included - is there a reason why pcpartpicker has stopped doing that(atleast for me and a few others)? :S

Probably the other build since it allows for CPU upgrades

yeah its why i went with the i3 to allow some growing room... amd is just a dead end now

 

it will have stronger single cores which are better for gaming, your rig would be better for productivity since it has more cores
