Request: cheap gaming PC

forgotten · **Posted:** 04 Feb 2010, 19:28

- Right I need a new gaming PC. My existing one is fucked.

- I have a HDD, DVDRW, Mouse, Keyboard and monitor. I need everything else.

- I'm looking to sort this out on a cheap budget please.

Any suggestions? Thanks

the ultimate question

what sort of budget do you have?

Gaz asked me the same thing before and I really don't have an answer. I have no budget but I have no money. It needs to be as cheap as possible but do the job.

Does that help any?

A bit of future proofing this should be good.

Core i5 750 CPU
4GB Ram
Socket 1156 motherboard
ATI 5850 graphics
I'd recommend upgrading to Vista or 7 64bit to make full use of the 4GB of ram and perhaps DX11

That comes to around £550 Not factoring in the possibility of needing a new PSU a corsair 650W should do taking the price to around £600

You gotta factor in everything such as case / PSU as well.

If a case too then under £650

Well I wasn't too far off with £650 I picked out a system that came to €759.13 which is about £660

Just noticed the card isn't in stock but it should give you a general idea.
