For months now I've been thinking of buying a gaming pc. But as always with everything in life, there are implications.
I only have £450 to spend but I think I would probably be able to let my savings account suffer a bit and spend £500 (but only if it meant I had to).
I not sure if I should build it myself or get it built for me. I've watched many upon many of videos on how to build gaming pc's on YouTube and the actual building part seems rather easy. It's the installing Windows 7 (yep, I hate Windows 8 significantly!) bit I'm worried about. Installing the correct drivers etc. How easy is it to do all the driver installations?
The third thing is, I have been thinking if I should wait until the next gen games come out to look at the minimum/recommended specs and it would tell me if I would need to buy a Core i5 and a higher range GPU than I was expecting so that I can run games at a decent frame rate and visual settings. Will next gen specs change all that much to the current generation games?
Can you build me a parts list for a gaming pc for £450-£500 please? I'm in the UK so please use companies in the UK for the parts. Links of the parts would be greatly appreciated too. Also count Windows 7 as a part too. Would really help me out if some people reply.
Thanks very much for your help!
