Hi all wanting to build a new computer just want some people's opinions on the parts im going to  save up for

 

Im thinking of a budget of £550 - £600 (dont mind going a tiny bit over long as its not like crazy ie £100 over )

 

i will be useing it for playing any games old and new so games like witcher 3  and gta 5 and any game that is coming out also old games like abe's oddysee ect.

 

im not planning on running 4k or anything just at most probably 1080p and default game settings so high or very high (depends  on what game recommends ofc) not overly fussed about ultra but if it can run it its more of a bonus then wanting it.

 

I will also be using the same computer for obs to stream to twitch at 720p @ 30fps most likey

 

here are the parts i have chosen what do you ppl think will it be good also anything that can be changed is fine just dont change it to a duel core coz thats crap ik i3 is 4 hyper Threds but its still a duel core so no quad core only plz :)

 

 

NOTE 1 : I would like it everything worked outta the box I really dont want to have to flash the bios or update bios on the mb just to install the cpu  as im not to comfy  doing it my self and I dont know anyone who could either 

 

 

NOTE 2 : i have not added storage as i dont need it as i have enough to get the system going and use until i buy something bigger later on

AMD: More Power Consumption, but 8 cores...

Intel i5: Less Power Consumption, more expensive, but only 4 cores...

I would go with AMD, I went with a intel i3 (because I wasn't thinking) because it used less power...

it all depends on your needs.

 

P.S - You can upgrade any system...

My $600 Rig - Intel-i3-3250 , XFX AMD Radon R7 260x , 430w 80+ PSU , Thermaltake Commander MS-I Case , WD BLACK 1TB HDD...  :D
