Looking to build someone their first gaming pc. Budget is £500 just for the pc (no o/s, keyboard, mouse, monitor needed). Other than gaming it will be used for everyday things - internet browsing, word processing etc. Going to get the parts from one place - SCAN.
Antec 300 - £44.85
1TB Samsung HD103UJ Spinpoint F1 - £57.43
Samsung SH-S223B/BEBE 22x DVD±R - £16.43
Hauppauge WinTV Nova - £42.88
This leaves about £337 for the graphics card, cpu, motherboard, ram and psu. Components wont be overclocked.
I am not really a gamer myself so looking for some recommendations on what to get. For this budget I guess dual core would be best but would an Intel or AMD system give best performance for the price?
Thanks.
