Hiya I would like to ask you guys what you think of this as a sub £350 build.
I cant afford to spend more than £350, and honestly my main usage will be gaming
So far all the parts are available at scan, today only or otherwise.
Core i3 2100 £87.59
Asus P8H67-M LE Rev3, Intel H67, S1155, PCI-E 2.0 x16, DDR3 1333, SATA 6Gb/s, RAID, MATX, VGA £70.79
Coolermaster Elite 430 Case + Elite 500w PSU £47.99
1TB Samsung f3 £37.79
2*2GB Corsair XMS3 Classic DDR3 10666 £35.99
Pioneer DVR s19 £14.39
512mb Sapphire HD 5670 £58.07
TOTAL £352.61
I had originally been looking at buying a bundle with the i3 540 cpu and slightly faster ram for £10 less but decided i'd rather the newer and more powerful i3.
I dont want to procrastinate too long over what parts to get, im really looking forward to getting on and building the thing.
What I would like to know if anyone has the time and doesnt mind helping is:
1- Is this build well rounded and ok for playing modern games up to 720p resolution?
2-Would I be better off considering Athlon CPU's at this budget?
3-Would it be better to spend say £40 more on a 5770 and go for a cheaper athlon cpu?
Its been about 4 years since i last built a system so any help is much appreciated, I know scans today only offers will be changing tomorrow so hoping to make up my mind asap.
Thanks!
