    My ultra budget gaming pc build

    I got given a low end Sempron 145 based PC for a PC building and repairing course I did.

    I've paid about £50-£70 for parts to make it better, these are the specs:

    Motherboard: ASRock N68-VS3 FX
    CPU: Sempron 145 Oc'ed and unlocked into an AMD Athlon II X2 4450e @3.5GHz
    RAM: 4GB DDR3 1333MHz
    GPU: XFX NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285 Black Edition
    Disk Drive: DVD Burner
    PSU: PC Power and Cooling Silencer 750W (SeaSonic OEM)
    CPU Cooler: ASUS Amazing Axe Square Extreme Limited Edition
    Fans: 1X 120MM Front fan, 1X 60MM side fan and 1X 80MM rear fan
    Case: Heavily modded (for better cooling and to fit in the GPU) 715 Case (eBay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OEM-715-Mi...item5d41a052ac)

    So what do ya think? (bearing in mind it only cost me ~£60

    Not too bad at all

    What HDD are you planning on buying? Or do you have a spare lying about somewhere?

    For £60 it is a steal. What monitor/resolution are you using with this configuration? ? ?

    GTX 285 is a great card. you will able to play games with good quality. only problem will appear when you try to play direct X 11 games. other than that have fun in the summer
