First build ideas

[abberto]

Hi!!

 

With Christmas and my birthday approaching, I thought I would give myself a theoretical budget of £325 and try to create a build that doesn't suck!!! I was wondering what you guys think and what suggestions you would give for improvements, with explanation if possible as I am still very much at the beginning steps of learning

Remove the SSD and get a better GPU. Look for like a 660Ti Boost used or a new 750Ti minimum

Yeah, 1GB of Vram simply is not enough and even 2GB is pushing it now a days. This rig should run games like Shadow of Mordor Medium Settings 1080p 60+FPS with no drops.
