Zettieee Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Hey so I'm looking to build a new PC at the end of this month (1st November). I'll be gaming most the time. Nothing intensive just older rpg's and some older mmorpg's. I'll also be using Photoshop and Sony Vegas Pro a lot of the time as well. My budget is £500 flat. I already own a good case (uATX). 600w PSU (bronze 80+). WD 2TB HDD. 60GB SSD(OCZ). What I need: CPU, GPU, RAM, MOBO. What I was looking at getting: i5 3470, P8H61-MX R2.0 mobo, 8GB G skill ram, ASUS hd7770. If anyone has a better build option post it below please! If it helps I have a staff discount at Maplins (UK store). Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the biggest discount but, it's something! :) A discount is a discount all the same, and Maplins do not have the reputation of being the cheapest electronics store around, so yup it is something.
