So I have a £500 Budget and i need a (Gaming) PC that would last me a quite a while, and can handle MMORPG'S like Runescape, World of Warcraft, League of Legends ect, and also game like Call of duty, batman, Battlefield 3 and Pritty much most PC games tbh. I Know £500 Is not much to spend on a gaming PC but maybe you could help me out with some specs for one.
Thanks, Nct.


P.S I'll +Rep.

No operating system as your budget doesnt allow for it
Another £79 for that

As for anti virus - AVG Free is good enough

You can add the free stuff if you want to, but when it comes to anti virus avast is free and is decent.
Both of these specs will be fine with these requirements.
Also I didn't include OS becuase your budget doesn't really alllow it.

An AMD A6-3650 APU linked to a AMD HD6570 GPU should handle most of that list fairly well. I can't comment on BF3 frame rates but it should be playable on lower settings.

RuneScape is buggy and rumours say it doesn't work well with AMD graphics cards. It's being re-written.

Go to the PC Specialist homepage.
-Click "Reviews" from the menu at the top.
--Click "Order Now" to look at the Enigma HD spec £549, (note: if you clock configure you will not get such a good price).
---If you decide to purchase this, you can then 'modify' your order straight after purchase, to downgrade from the BlueRay player to save £46 and get it on your budget. (I would increase the RAM to 8GB for £16 to make this a solid gaming PC on a budget).

This is what I bought my wife, apart from we haven't downgraded from having the Blu-Ray player yet, just thought of it now to try and get this awesome value gaming PC in your budget.
