First Build - Still some time to go

[abberto]

What do people think about this? It's not the best equipment, budget is stupidly tight. But I think it'll be ok to start and build over time.

As you can see, I have the CPU, Ram and Hard Drive and have no more than £150 left for MoBo, Video Card, Case and PSU (I looked at the SeaSonic one on PCPartPicker as it says it's fully modular, but it isn't)

What is this build for? Honestly doesn't even look like it's worth having tbh

[C0LL0SS0S]

With a System like this you won't upgrade over time, since you are at the very low end so yeah

That Gt730 is not even worth purchasing, you can use the HD graphics in the pentium and upgrade to a 750ti later.

Honestly OP, this build should be the bare minimum. Maybe try to save up another 50 pounds?

Constructive. It's only for Microsoft Office stuff, web browsing, YouTube and Football Manager 2016. As I get money, I'll upgrade things like the GPU, CPU and MoBo.

I don't think the HD Graphics would handle Football Manager 2016 in the slightest. My current laptop can't handle it so I've decided to build my own PC.

That's a nice build. The problem is that I have already purchased the CPU, Ram and Hard Drive. Unless I can sell them on and use the money at all?

[C0LL0SS0S]

just get a chromebook and use Google docs if its possible tbh

The Gt 730 won't be much better, and that Celeron won't give you room for any upgrade, whilst the pentium can handle a 750ti or 950. Still if you're on tight budget AMD's APUs are great value for money. You should really consider selling that CPU and get something better.

Might look at selling the G1820. Need to check it works first when it arrives. Initially I was looking at the A8-7600. Probably a better idea

Yeah, that would be much better, and it could easily handle a low tier GPU if you're updating in the future.

Just need to see what I can get for the G1820
