Hi all,
I'm planning on building a new computer for general home use and a bit of gaming. Budget is less than £400. To all US users, sadly here in the UK we cant use newegg.com
. next best: ebuyer.com
Anyway here is the planned spec:
Mobo: Asus P8H61-M - £60 here
RAM: Corsair [2x4gb] 1333 Mhz - £35 here
CPU: Intel i3 Sandybridge 2120 - £95 here
SSD: OCZ 90Gb Agility 3 - £88 here [< £1 / Gb :O]
PSU: Corsair 430W V2 CX - £35 here
GPU: Asus AMD Radeon HD 6670 - £58 here
I'm fairly certain this is all compatible. Will be running Windows 7 Home Premium.
Case & optical drive are going to be taken from current PC.
Adding an additional case fan [& filter] too.
This will be the first build I've done on my own. So anti-static mat, anti-static wrist band, thermal paste, cable ties & an ordinary multi-screwdriver are the accessories I have, is this enough?
Biggest uncertainty is the GPU. Any better GPUs for simlar price?
Any other advice is welcome ofc!
Thanks in advance,
Sam
