Hi Gareth

 

I deleted the other duplicate post that was posted 5 minutes after this one.

 

best bits I should go for in the £300 bracket

Is this £300 in total ? ( including what you have bought already ? )

 

For this price you are not going to get a gaming machine.

Decent gaming video cards start at about £80

 

Do you have an Operating System that you can install that isn't on another machine ?

If not this will take a large proportion of your budget.

No I have about £300 left for a motherboard, processor, graphics card and memory. I already have a copy of windows 7. I have always used amd processors in the past. But because I have not bought any new stuff for such a long time I have no idea what to buy now hope you can give some advice

First off, we need to know what power supply you have, and its Watt. Can you tell us this please.

I'll dig around for a set that will work together, and will reply after you have told us your power supply details.

I there I have an 850 watt power supply with 2, six pin sli sockets and 24 pin power supply I think it should be ok for anything out there

I will let Vr5fx advise on the hardware.

 

I already have a copy of windows 7

When you install you should have an option to install 32 or 64 bit Operating System.

Select the 64 bit.

32 bit systems only support 4 GB RAM with a 64 bit system you are limited only by the motherboard - but 8GB RAM should be possible.

In your budget. Not a bad set to be honest.

You wont need more than 4 cores, and no need to overclock.

8Gb RAM is more than plenty for gaming, no need to expand.

Good motherboard for an "all rounder", it is cheap and effective.

A reasonable graphics card, not suitable for SLI, but then no graphics card is really, no games use it.

 

I used Ebuyer as a reference because I use them, they are good and helpful, but obviously the parts may be cheaper elsewhere.
