Posted October 31, 2018 Hey, I'm helping one of my pals put together a pc that he's going to use to play a few games, he wants everything - so windows, monitor, mouse etc - but windows shouldn't be much of a problem since we've already acquired a license and we already have a case + keyboard.

It seemed like a 2200G from the benchmarks I saw could run six siege at good enough settings + frame rate so I decided to avoid a discreet GPU to save money. Like I said it's a £ build and not $ so if you were to add any parts or change some, please don't use something like newegg which we don't have over here in the UK Thanks for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 31, 2018 Author @Vasllo@Ben Quigley I tried looking through all the local shop websites for a 2400g but they either weren't in stock or was above my budget. So, I decided to leave the CPU alone - I changed the RAM so that I could get dual-channel and slightly faster frequencies, but it's still 8GB overall which is most likely going to get upgraded at some point in the near future. As for the SSD , I opted for the cheapest I could find: Kingston, it serves it's purpose of holding the OS and a handful of essential software (120GB) and I obviously used the AOC monitor build as the base.

Posted November 1, 2018 Author @Vasllo@Ben Quigley@vexicus365 @Herman Mcpootis So uh... I just got informed that apparently his budget is now a maximum of £700 - so I slapped in a 1050 ti, swapped the 2200G for a 1500X and then swapped the monitor to the other original one since I wouldn't be using the freesync anymore and this has built-in speakers (bad I know, but it'll do the job for now).

Should I have done anything else? spend abit more on a ryzen 1600 instead of the 1500x. get the corsair CX, be quiet pure power 10 or coolermaster masterwatt instead of the seasonic M12. if the RX 570 is at a similar price then get that instead.
