Hi im thinking of building myself a new PC for gaming and study and fancy seeing what I could manage for £300 to £400 budget. I dont need a screen or anything like that so looking around at reviews and what scan has to offer I have come up with the current system.
Processor: AMD Phenom II X2 550 Black Edtion -£76
Motherboard: Biostar TA790 GX AM3 -£90
Memory: 2G corsair XMS DDR3 -£30
Hard drive: 320 GB Samsung HD322HJ Spinpoint F1 -£34
Graphics: XFX HD 4850 XXX 512Mb -£86
Case and power:Antec Sonata 3 with 500W power supply -£105
I would link it all for you but iv not got enough posts yet as you can see
Comes to about £425 but im willing to stretch the extra £25 if its worth it. I dont know if there are cheaper cases and power suppplys that will do the job. I went for AM3 as it seems more futureproof as I indend to keep this system for about 4 to 5 years with mayby a midlife graphics and processor and some more memory updates. Im open to all ideas on what to change.
