Sanctyy wrote Get whatI suggested and spend the remaining £65 or so on an SSD. Add another 4GB RAM when you can. Then you can add a larger HDD for more storage, and then focus on a GPU upgrade.



PS @KVarius, no one cares how much you spent on monitors. Do you really wanna start a competition on how much you've spent on a rig? OP doesn't need anywhere near £700-£1000 for a rig, so stop spreading misinformation.


I was giving example on how much it costs for a decent rig... and a PC at the price he stated will be terrible, you're the one spreading misinformation.

fulton1 wrote so an ssd is vital? and sanctyy add me so i can msg u when i have questions?

Not vital, but worth it. I hate to use PC's without SSD's now so it'd be nice to have one. Your 560 will perform about as well as a GT 740 so very entry level but it'll do fine for now. I'd say it's better to get an SSD and 4GB RAM and add another 4GB RAM later, as opposed to 8GB now and adding an SSD later. It's much simpler to add RAM to your system, and it's pretty cheap anyway. I wouldn't suggested re-usng the Z11+ but since you're on such a tight budget, you could and get 8GB RAM total, as well as the SSD. Or, you could drop the SSD, stick with 4GB RAM, re-use your Z11+ and get an R9 270.

You weren't giving an example, you were lying. There is no set cost for a "decent rig". It's fine if you don't know what you're talking about, but don;t spread misinformation in these forums.

Well, 4GB RAM will suffice for now and it's the easiest component to upgrade since you can add more very cost effectively at any point. The Z11+ doesn;t have very good build quality and just isn't a great case, but it's not the end of the world to re-use it. I wouldn't personally, but if you;re fine with it, you may as well. If you do re-use the Z11+ though, I'd suggest a case upgrade at some point. SSD is always nice, great for fast boot/load times and it's a pain in the ass to add them later and have to transfer or re-install your OS. R9 270 is a mid ranged card, so won't be maxing every game @1080p but it will do well. I'm not sure if you'd prefer to hold on to the 560 though, and save up for a higher end GPU.

Advice is to save up, because for a DECENT build, you're looking at 700 - 1000


I agree, since u like to give advice heres some for you, If you want to improve your pcs start up times

Go onto your C drive, Go into the windows folder, Then look for system32, Delete this folder and restart your pc. You can thank me later

SSD
I would cry if my PC didn't have one now
I am not going back to over a minute start up times whereas the SSD i got from good ol Sanctyy ere enables my PC to boot in under 25 seconds.
