Post: [REQUEST] Custom Build Gaming PC.
06-12-2012, 01:29 PM #1
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hey Guys,
So I'm not computer expert therefore I haven't tried to build one myself.
However I was hoping some of you guys could show me where to start off.
If you could build one for me that would be amazing.
My budget is around £400.
Has to have 8GB RAM & 500GB Hard Drive
I'll be gaming and also using sony vegas a lot.

Thanks

Hey Andy.
Once again I appreciate you taking your time to put together a PC for me. Would it be best to buy some parts from eBay or would you not recommend that?

Yes, the prices are in US but I converted the prices to £ so you could get an idea of the price you would be paying. The price should be similar wherever you buy the parts, It's probably best to use multiple sites where you can get better offers on a certain part than others, but that can have it's downsides like shipping times. But it's all up to you =D


Updated Build:

I replaced the 1TB Hard Drive with a 500GB one and put 8GB of RAM in.

You could substitute the 560Ti for the 570

Which would make the total: £480

Personally myself I don't buy off ebay. But I can see where it can have it's advantages like saving money if you buy second hand parts, but be careful with second hand parts as they could have some problems like reduced life span etc. But then again they could be fine. I personally would buy them brand new that way you can be sure they won't have any problems. If you can buy the parts brand new off ebay and get a better deal than other sites then yeah go for it. It's really up to you.

It was quite hard to get what you wanted and have decent performance, the price is just a little over what you wanted(Around £539). If you are still looking this is what I found. ^^

If you plan on overclocking I would suggest a better CPU fan than the stock included in the box.Awesome face

£510 for all the components, and another 12£ for shipping. If you want it built for you they will do it for another 15£.

Lots of upgrades path for the future with a good motherboard, and a good reliable PSU.

You can easily get 4.0Ghz with the stock cooler, but if you want more than that you will need a better fan which will cost another 25£.

H61 doesn't have any over clocking abilities anyway.


You won't be able to buy from the US without having to pay a large import tax. The US gets component a lot cheaper, but if we were to buy them from the US and ship them to the EU, they would cost more than it would to just buy it in the EU after shipping and tax are added on.
