Well, I recently built my first gaming PC. I had a tight budget as Christmas has just been and only had around 350GBP to spend on a PC after having to buy gifts for family and friends(I'm only 15 so don't make much at my job). I was aiming for a PC that could run games like Far Cry 3, Skyrim etc.. on Medium-High settings with little lag. I succeeded.

Here are a few pictures of the PC;

Not brilliant photograph's but you can see the most of it.

Specs;

Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit Operating System
Motherboard - Asus P8B75-V
Processor - Intel Pentium G680 @ 3.00GHz
RAM - 2x4GB Corsair DDR3 1333MHz
Power Supply - Cooler Master 500W
GPU - Gigabyte Radeon HD 7750
Case - CiT Jupiter with 2x 120mm blue LED fans
Optical Drive - LiteOn iHAS burner
Storage - 1TB Seagate internal 3.5" SATA HDD


Remember, this build only cost 350GBP and if I had more to spend it would be a lot better but this was the best I could get for my money. Thanks for checking it out!

What other operating system would I use? I use a 64-bit OS because some programs or games require a 64-bit operating system to run smoothly. I have 8GB of RAM, 2 x 4GB sticks.
