Hi All,

Need some advice please, I need to get a case, Motherboard, Ram and a new CPU. my budget is £180 coulld maybe go up to £200. I have a spare GTX 670 2gb spare to put in it and SSD and a 900W PSU I can use. it will mainly be used for browsing and some games for the Girls, EG fornite, WoW, and a few others.

Cheers Bell.

£200 is quite a tight budget for all of that... you're looking at a real 'budget build'. It should be able to play the games you've mentioned, but I wouldn't expect much more than that. Even then, I am not sure exactly what sort of settings / FPS you'll be looking at, but as long as you're not expecting more than 720-1080p 60 FPS, you should be fine.

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/ftm6YT - Total cost here is £235. Just over budget, but I really wouldn't recommend cutting costs any further tbh. Let me know if this is a real problem and I can try to adjust it for you.

I'd actually recommend you get a case from Scan, as this one (https://www.scan.co.uk/products/deepcool-smarter-micro-atx-mini-tower-case) looks like it has a bit more in the way of airflow...and it is £5 cheaper. So everything else from Amazon, case from Scan.

Hope this helps.

Cheers Chaos, will put the extra in and get that. Graphics wise it's not really a major issue as long as they can play lol. Cheers :-)
