Pc for a friend Please Help!

[PorkyChoUk]

Hello all,

 

 

My friend wants to get into pc gaming and he wants his first pc to be prebuilt as his parents are really really strict and are not allowing him to build due to him maybe breaking parts and ect.

 

He wants to play:

 

Skyrim

Minecraft

CS.GO

Garrys Mod

and possibly fallout 4

 

He wants 60fps medium to high settings.

 

Also he has a budget of £500

 

So I have found two pc's from chillblast however I do not know which to chose:

 

http://www.chillblast.com/Chillblast-Fusion-Drone-Gaming-PC.html

 

or 

 

http://www.chillblast.com/Chillblast-Fusion-Wolverine.html

actually none of them ... the second one would be good except the gpu and the first one basically the same and you don't need that water cooler.

I'd recommend building it yourself, it is not that complicated

[DarkBlade2117]

First one is much better though please build one for him. Could get an i3 and 380 for your budget

[asiancorruption]

The chillblast because the r7 370 is way better than that 250x. The i3 is nice tho, at least theres an upgrade path. Honestly, he should prove he can build rather than this cause he'll get a lot more for his money. the parts are like worth $300 at most

very good i think an SSD is a must even at this price range

[Sir Asvald]

I've added one.  

[DarkBlade2117]

Read the last sentence..

Oh and OP am your friend to show his parents the build I posted and show them how much buying a prebuilt rips you off. If a part breaks ECT, they mostly come with warranties or companies will do RMAs of it came dead

[DarkBlade2117]

No no lol, that SSD is holding back raw performance... @Jacktastic-Mofo is one of the few people on this forum who agrees with this. Take the SSD out and make it a i5

[jcw150]

As someone with a SSD and none SSD rig the different outside of games is so big I would never again not use an SSD.
