i am planning on building my first gaming rig. deciding to move over from console and starting out with a 500gbp rig to start me out with.
the components i am contemplating are:
AMD FX8350 Black Edition 8 Core Processor (4.0/4.2GHz, 8MB Level 3 Cache, 8MB Level 2 Cache, Socket AM3+, 125W, Retail Boxed)
MSI 970A-G43 AMD 970 ATX Motherboard (PCI-E, Socket AM3+)
G-Skill 8GB Ripjaws X DDR3 2133 Dual Kit - Red
Asus Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti Graphics Card (2GB, GDDR5, PCI-Express 3.0
WD 1TB 3.5 inch Internal Hard Drive - Caviar Blue
Corsair Builder Series CXM 500W Modular 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX/EPS PSU
Cooler Master Elite 430 Advance - ATX Mid Tower Computer Case with Side Window Panel - Black with Red LED, USB 3.0
as of today the rig comes to 463.88 gbp on amazon.co.uk. i know some of the components are fairly old but for what i want to do with it i think it will be good enough. don't need a wireless card as it will be run through ethernet and i already have a 1080p monitor and all peripherals. looking to play the newer games but not too bothered about it being on ultra settings or at 60fps. games that will mainly be played are fifa 15, GTA V then majority of mmo games on steam. any suggestions of components to swap in and out still staying in the 500 budget would be much appreciated. i do not know a huge amount about building my own pc so i hope i havent made any stupid mistakes with either non compatible components or anything.
thanks
