• Cheap gaming build for a friend
    8 replies, posted
A British friend of mine wants to upgrade his current PC (it's a really shitty one,i'm talking Intel HD Graphics shit-tier) for cheap. I made him this build,but I suck when it comes to PC building: [url]http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/pqwmmG[/url] Any comments? Feel free to suggest other things but he really wants to play modern games well,but cheap as well. That's why I kinda went overkill on the GPU. He doesn't have a 1080P monitor but he's debating purchasing one in the future.
I'm guessing you already added the current parts he has in the partslist as well, right?

And because I didn't knew his actual PC parts I asked him to send me them so here are his specs: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/SG0bm4A.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/9Sh30eA.png[/IMG] Also I fucked up images hooray for me
[url=http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/xBxxRB]Here's something I put together, you have a more up to date processor and motherboard combo which could support the newer CPUs with a BIOS updated (possibly), a slightly less expensive HDD and a PSU with less wattage (although it'll still run his system perfectly fine).[/url] I could do another build from scratch but I wouldn't know what parts your friend wanted specifically such as the case.

Do you know what sort of games he would be playing? If so I could build something around that along with some headroom for later releases.

Payday 2,Borderlands 2,new CoDs and Battlefields. Some heavily modded Minecraft,Fallout New Vegas and GMod as well. Maybe Skyrim.

Probably wants to play more modern games I guess. But still,thanks a LOT for your help!
