Ohai. I'm new here. Great site this is!
Anyways, I'll get straight to the point. I'm trying to get a dedicated gaming PC because my current is just a pathetic laptop. I have used the tools on this site to create something, and the full specs are bellow:
This system is priced at £820 inc. VAT and is pretty much all I will need. Now my problem is, I have a rather tight budget of around £700-£750. Could you guys recommend some things to remove to get the system into this price range?
Or do you guys have some kind of Christmas sale?
I am quite computer literate so I would be fine adding new components at a later date, but I would rather just keep it in the base system if I could.
