Good components for gaming?

[xBeast]

Could someone please tell me if these components would make a half decent PC, i am pretty new to computers and dont have any more than £415, so would these components work together? Thankyou if you take the time to reply ( I am well open to changing any of these components if there are better ones for around the same price)

Hi and welcome to ExTS

 

I am not a gamer - so will not be able to comment on quality etc.

 

What you have will produce a reasonably quick PC.

 

I would suggest the following Video Card:

GTX 650 Ti Boost

There is a 1GB and a 2GB option.

The 2GB would deal with bottlenecking far better otherwise, from what I have read, they are comparable.

 

I found a 2GB version here:

Recommendation:

Hi

 

Yes - your components list is compatible as far as I can tell.

 

The 6670 is a good card.

If you are pressed for cash then it is a good alternative.

 

see here

 

This features a 1GB version - the 2GB would handle gaming better I think.

Hiya.

 

What you have got so far is good, it will work.

Gaming PC's are always expensive, trying to make a budget PC is always fun, I enjoy it.

The listed processor would be good for everyday use, but it might not be so good for gaming. The cheaper the CPU the more issues it will have under load which come back as stuttering and FPS drops while gaming.

 

The GTX 650 is a good card, not really outdated, will still run most recent games on high -> very high.

While on the talk about graphics, your CPU plays a part in how well it works, as well.

 

I've put together a list of parts, but I don't want to post it and let you think that you have done a bad job on your research. What you've done is great and will work.

If you request it, I'll be happy to post it. :)

yeah could you post it please if its still around this price, i mean i could spend abit more but itd need to be worth the extra money maybe like up to £450, and yeah could you link me to a good processor that you would recommend instead of the amd

also on the graphics card what is the difference between 1GB and 2GB versions? http://www.scan.co.uk/products/1gb-evga-gtx-650-superclocked-28nm-pcie-30-(x16)-5000mhz-gpu-1202mhz-cores-384-dvi-hdm would this be okay for a graphics card?

thankyou for taking time to reply replying

also im not bothered about frame rate drops if i would be recording because i dont intend to do so, also a a monitor that is good for around £150

saw this one http://www.scan.co.uk/products/236-asus-vs247h-led-full-hd-hdmi-dvi-vga-1920x1080-300cd-m-50m1-5ms-black but i wasnt sure if this would have enough inputs?

[Vr5fx]

Sorry for the delayed reply, work has been keeping me rather busy lately.

Take a look here and see what you think.

 

That setup will run near on all games very well. That monitor is also fine.

[xBeast]

yeah cheers man thats a great list, three more quick questions though,

changing motherboard to the same as on your list but do you need another component to connect to your wi-fi i know you can get usb one but i would sure if they would be good?

also would you say run your pc to your monitor with a hdmi cable or just with a vga providing i'll be gaming on it

if you are a gamer yourself Steve would you be able to share some average fps on some games for this build?

Thanks alot for the help
