Budget Gaming CPU.

[Stephen_]

My cousin is looking to build a very low budget gaming pc so he can stop gaming on his laptop, i was looking at a A8-6600k, I have looked at reviews but I wanted to know you guys opinions, or if you can think of something better for around the same price?

What is this "low budget"?

 

Maybe we can help you out with an entire build if you give us a price range.

What's your cousin's budget for the tower?

Budget?

Read the last spoiler of my signature.

 

Budget? Usage? How often will you upgrade? How often will you use it? Do you need Peripherals? OS? Optical Drive? How many monitors will you use? Any other requests?

What is this "low budget"?

around £350-£400

[CoolBeans]

750k

[Bloodyvalley]

around £350-£400

For a CPU? That's not really budget.

 

Just kidding

 

 

I'd say go for the FX series. a 6300 would be good

Build this for him:

Make sure to OC the CPU to at least 4.2 GHZ and also OC the GFX card and this baby should be running BF4 at around 50 FPS at High.
