The Gaming Desktop under

[-fAED11]

Ok, so I came to a conclusion but still I need your help to lower the price to get it to 400€.

 

CPU - i3-6100 3.7GHz / 117,90€
Memory Ram - Crucial 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4 2133Mhz / 47,49€

Motherboard - MSI H110M GAMING / 72,90€

Graphics Card - Gigabyte AMD Radeon RX 460 4GB GDDR5 (128bits) / 149,90€

Storage - WD Blue 1TB / 48,99€

 

(these are local prices - Portugal)

 

and I need options for the Case and for the Power Supply.
This Desktop is supposed to rund Battlefield 1 and FIFA 17.
 

Any Recommendations?

1) Nvidia over AMD

2) save your money and make sure get a decent graphics card.

 

Most games today run off a gpu. If you don't have a decent gpu you will hate gaming on any PC. If you plan on games like minecraft that are cpu based, building a "gaming" rig with an i3 is a total waste of money.

 

Save your money and build something worth having later when you can afford it.

I really do understand your oppinion, because I feel the same. I have my own Gaming PC that I've build in 2013 that still today can run everything on ULTRA.

The problem is that my friend doens't want to spend more than 400€ on a PC.

Then you should be telling him that what he will get is annoyance and frustration.

 

What you will get is
"why can't i get my games to look better"
"why is my PC so slow"

 

My thoughts

good luck on trying to run Battlefield 1 on it at a descent frame rate and decent graphics.

maybe you could let your friend look at the minimum specs for Battlefield 1 on origin so he knows it will be almost impossible.

I don't know if the parts have been bought yet. The Antec VP is ok, but there are better PSUs for the money. I know because I have the VP700P. Also if he's buying the 460 he might as well just get a console, since that GPU won't last very long at all.
