Hi everyone, Looking to build my first gaming PC in the new year, aiming for mid range for the time being. Based on Mark Walton's (Gamespot UK) Build Your Own Steambox article, my budget is around the £500 mark. So far I'm looking at; CPU- i5 2400 RAM - G.Skill F3 -12800CL9T-6GBNQ HD - Seagate Barracuda 500 GB Serial ATA-600 3.5" From there I need help picking out; Motherboard - I understand I need a Z68, but which one? PSU - something reliable, recommendations welcome GPU - I've read an HD 7850 would do me fine, recommendations? A case that wont make my eyes bleed but also keep all this from melting. It's going next to my PS3 so nothing too massive. Any help is hugely appreciated, and suggestions on the rest of it is also welcome. Thanks in advance
I can point you to this image as a reference, I live in AUS so can't help out much with pricing but if you use this as a reference and do a price check on UK websites I'm sure you can find a good deal.
