(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I decided against a PC build a couple years ago and now I want to build one... Are either of these builds any good?

EDIT:

Basing my build off of the total price in the original post since there is no clearly stated budget. Both mine and Toke's build will outperform the builds in the original post by miles. A R9 390 is like 3x GTX 750 TI. And Intel is better than AMD in single-core performance, which is what you want for a gaming PC. I'm not sure how you got a PC with a GTX 750 TI to total out to ~£600.

Hi Rawr,

I'm going to be ordering the parts for my build tomorrow. Will be purchasing them in stages...

Before I buy anything, will this build be able to run games like GTA V, DAYZ and those comfortably?

Regards,

Harry

Yes, you should be able to max out settings and play at 60 FPS.

I'd try to buy the PSU asap. An 80+ gold PSU that's based off of a high quality Seasonic platform going for less than £40 - that's a really good price. Not sure how much longer that pricing is going to last.

I'm going to be ordering my GFX card, however I've been told it's not the optimum one for my build?

Due to having a ATX Motherboard and having a mid-tower Case, the GFX card should be a full sized card? I'm I right in saying so?

I know I can have a smaller card and the performance isn't much different... But would it make a difference to swap it out to a bigger card?

I'd buy this one - You must login or register to view this content.
