£500 Budget Gaming PC
Ok so i want to build my own Gaming PC. This is my first time doing it so bear with me. £500-530-ish budget. I want to be able to play pc games like TF2, Left 4 Dead, COD's, Oblivion, etc... You get the idea.
So i dunno what components to get, It must include a monitor and OS (and mouse n keyboard but i could always buy cheap ones so yar) BUT i have been looking around and found this PC, i costumized it a bit and the final specs are: Ice-Box Black AMD Phenom II 710 Triple Core 2.6Hz Asrock K10N78M Motherboard 1GB ATI 4650 4GB (4 X 1GB) Kingston 320GB 7200rpm SATA II Hard Drive 22x Dual Layer DVD +/- Rewriter 19" HannsG HW191D Widescreen VGA/DVI, 700:1, 5ms TFT Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit (it doesn't say there will be a Win7 upgrade but i guess it would) Standard Mouse and Keyboard Total £530 Good? Or would i get a better deal/specs building my own? Thanks a billion. |

Asrock is Asus's refuse, they are cheap motherboards that are supported by a subsidiary of Asus. Our answer here is going to be build your own. The hardware you listed will not be able to play any of the games u wanna play. U need a machine with a capable video card.

Sorry I missed that you had listed the ATI 4650 which is an ok card but here is what I recommend:
http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Compo...roductId=37061 http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Compo...roductId=37391 http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Compo...roductId=37441 I wouldn't bother with a tri-core https://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Comp...roductId=37495 https://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Comp...roductId=37543 https://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Comp...roductId=36958 https://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Disp...roductId=37277 http://<br /> 2 X https://www.aria....roductId=27566 or a case of your choice that fits your budget. I would Forget about 64 bit and pre-order windows 7 insead of buying vista. Without an OS I am sitting at 460 pounds plus VAT Good luck

Edit: I looked around and found this graphics card it's 1GB and is cheaper. Better? Last edited by Katana Master; 08-31-2009 at 01:57 AM. |

The 4650 can never be better than the 4770 regardless of the RAM capacity.

What about a case? The link you gave for a case wasn't working :/
Edit: Never mind i got the link to work ^_^ But will this built do overclocking well? I would have to upgrade the heatsink but besides that would it be good? Last edited by Katana Master; 09-01-2009 at 02:25 AM. |

Why overclock? Are you going to race it? The machine will run great without messing with it.
