Hi
I'm pretty new to the whole of gaming pc so everything's a bit confusing for me. I like to game on pc but my old pc is hardly a gaming pc and it's near the end of its life.
So I recently saw this vid: https://youtu.be/7WQxr59KRto and I'm tempted to build my own pc, but the task seems taunting; i have no building computer experience. This costs up around £433.51 (+£99 because I'll have to buy windows os later on)
The alternative is to input as similar as I can components to PcSpecialist and see how much it'll cost me:
Processor (CPU)
AMD FX-6300 Six Core CPU (3.50GHz/8MB CACHE/AM3+)
