Looking for a PC build for around 400GBP can go a little over if needed. I want causal gaming playing games like Far Cry 4, sims 4 and other new releases (older games as well) but I don't mind not being able to play them at ultra/highest settings just better than Xbox one/PS4 if possible. Also going to be using it just for normal use, browsing ya know normal stuff.

  • Budget: 400GBP (Like I said can I a little over)
  • Use: Casual gaming & everyday use
  • No peripherals and OS needed
  • Extra: Would also like an SSD if you could fit one in the budget


Thanks

You're not going to get an SSD within that budget, unless you sacrifice GPU/CPU power.

Two options.
1;
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Stronger CPU.
2;
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Stronger GPU.

With the first build, you'll want to add another 4GB RAM asap, then add an SSD and then focus on a GPU upgrade, the wisest being the GTX 970 if you could save the money.

With the 2nd build, add another 4GB RAM asap, then an SSD and then focus on a CPU upgrade, like the 4690k. After that, you can upgrade GPU if you wish but the 270x will play most, if not all games at 60FPS on high settings 1080p.
