I need help with building a PC.. Again

DickyNI

So i was recently posting on here about building a gaming PC for around £600-£650 but ive sort of decided against spending that much money. If anyone could do me a build for around £500 that would be greatly appreciated. I would like it to be the best performance wise as it possibly can be with that budget.

 

All help welcome!

If you wanted to get a few used parts you could get a bit more for the money.(There is risk but I've bought all kinds of used parts and never had a problem)

Would it be worth spending the extra money on an rx 470?

Would the i3 really be worth getting over an i5?

Okay, I'd recommend the RX 470 but it increases the price to £510. Not sure if you're willing to spend an extra £10 for a better GPU.

It'll be better, but again, the price might be higher than £500. :/

I've had both i3 and i5 and I can guarantee that there is a HUGE difference between them. I do not recomend the i3 at all, given that it bottlenecked my R9 270x, with a 1050ti or RX 470 (you should get the 470) it will be even worse. The build @stconquest recommended is the one will perform the best, given that it has both a better CPU and a better GPU

Then go for it. ;) games may take a performance hit. But then, you could upgrade later. :)

Well the i3 isn't a quad core CPU, compared to the i5. It only has 2 cores it "acts" as a quad core CPU because it has hyperthreading. As for the i5 it's an acutal 4 core CPU. :)Which games take advantage of them.
