Something Enough For What I Do....

[alanp1995]

Hi,

 

I'm looking to build a computer,

for around £350-400 (Based in Ireland so it needs to be able to ship to Ireland),

which will be adequate enough for what I do on a daily basis.

 

I will leave everything I do and every game I play and at what settings I play them at, all listed below.

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Bigger Programs: (Besides Chrome, Spotify etc.)

 

Photoshop - Nothing serious, some basic editing for college

Programming - Nothing serious, Java, HTML and Python

Sony Vegas - Basic Edit's, won't ever be a 4K render or anything of the sort

 

Games:

 

Counter Strike: Global Offensive - Run at 1024x768 resolution, all low settings

Overwatch - Run at 1920x1080 resolution, all low settings

Team Fortress 2 - 1920x1080 resolution, all low settings

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

That's basically all I do on computer, of course there is some other things which I do but 90% of the time, this will be the main list.

 

Thanks for your time!

well, the thing is, what *is* your budget?

 

"as cheap as possible" is not the right choice, since it will not be a satisfying experience.

if you dont have a set budget, just give a "range" to work with (even if it's huge, like €1000-2000)

€400-450. Based in Ireland so needs to be from UK. As Irish prices are too expensive.

I tried to keep as many parts to be bought from Amazon as possible so they could hopefully be shipped to Ireland 

As for the i3,search your local computer store they should have it

As for the rx 460 wait a month or so and then it should be in stock. 

If you don't want to wait get a gtx 950

Edit: to get the list as close to your budget as possible omit the hdd and ssd and get a 1tb hybrid

Would any of these be a good alternative to buying new? A GPU would just need to be added then.

Nah always build your own it saves you money 

If the manufacturer wants any amount of profit then none of their pre built systems will have the value of one you build yourself
