New Build - Help Mah Out....
« on: August 26, 2013, 02:13:18 PM »
Ok lads I'm having to start and think of a new build.

I already have AMD FX8320 Black Edition 8 Core CPU that I picked up recently.  I need Mobo, Ram, PSU, 1gb HD and GPU, and potentially a case.

I always aim for best bang for buck, so am thinking of around the ?400 mark? 

Anyone any ideas, would like to buy through overclockers if possible.

I know you hate boards, but the lads (esp Bloodbath) at PC Building & Upgrading have put together some very nice rigs (that, and I haven't looked at much hardware for a while).

Unfortanatly, I haven't built a gaming rig in a good while and haven't kept upto date on hardware recently.

I wish you luck in your PC building endeavour sir! *tips hat*

Well Rob I tweaked it a wee bit.  I like the AMD stuff for some reason, and as playing at 1680 X 1050 I dropped the card back a wee bit, should still stomp over most games though.
