Guideline: Gaming-PC for your budget!

[Gaahl]

I tried making the cheapest decent build possible, having a price range to work on would be cool tho. And yeah, the 550s should be the same as 460s, but 460s are out of production, so maybe you can find a used one... I'm not really a fan of 2nd hand pc parts tbh

I wouldn't suggest trying to build up a pc by starting from the fact it should be "cheap" either, cause spending a bit more can be worth it. I'd rather save money for a better pc rather than being impatient and buying a cheap one

Personally, I wouldn't build any gaming pc, even budget, with anything lower than a 560 or 6950. More games are starting to use DX11 which is a real fps killer. Also gaming at 1080p is becoming more standard which requires a decent gpu

Anyone looking to build right now should just wait for the upcoming 7000 and 600 series cards. 28nm is gonna bring some big gains

New 560 Ti just came out with more cores.

Well I went with something else than suggested, I decided to go with AMD as it'll be enough for me.


ASUS VH192D (19" monitor)
CM HAF 912 Plus Case
ASUS M5A97 Pro AM3+ Motherboard
AMD Phenom II X4 960T (will unlock it to X6)
8GB DDR3 1600MHz - Corsair Vengeance
CM GX 650W PSU
ASUS GTX 560 Ti DCU II
ASUS 24x DVD/RW Drive
Some cheap keyboard
HDD: I'll be using my old one.

That set me back around £580

It's time for a new one, still running on a 3 year old dual core. (3,3 ghz)
This way I don't have to buy a new one for another 3/4 years, hopefully.
