• Low Budget UK PC?
    5 replies, posted
So I kinda need a new PC, my budget is about £300 (GBP). (So yes, UK sites please). I need something that should be able to handle left 4 dead 2 at a good framerate (40 is fine) at medium settings, as well as most other source games (TF2, Gmod, CSS). Chances are if it can handle L4D2, it can handle that though. Not looking for anything epicly amazing, I don't need something that can run crysis, source game level is fine. Not looking for anything pretty either, so I don't much care about the case. Basically, something cheap that does the job and won't fall apart after 6 months. I can supply the OS, so it doesn't need an OS. Don't need an especially big harddrive, anything >100gb is fine. I expect 2gb ram and a dual core (2ghz) would be fine. I've searched around on ebay but that's nothing in particular that takes my fancy. [b]Edit:[/b] Forgot to mention about peripherals. I can reuse my current mouse and keyboard and probably monitor, so I just need a new tower, but if there happens to be a mouse or keyboard or monitor bundled with something cheaper then that would be great. Not all that fussed over a CD/DVD drive, I can probably live without one (I can borrow one to install the OS with etc)
Ok I did a little investigating on ebuyer. This is what I came out with.

Any comments?
I think you'd be better off going with an AMD CPU with such a low budget.
