My budget should be about 550 GBP but i can go to 650 if needs be. I will probaly have to lower something on the PC below because its a little bit too much money in which i am willing to spend.

At the moment i am thinking of ordering this PC from UKGamingComputer . co . uk

Case: Zalman Z3
Power Supply: Corsair CX430 430W
Processor: Intel i5 4670k 3.4Ghz (highly overclockable)
Processor Cooler: Xigamatek Loki II
RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600Mhz/PC12800
Motherboard: Asus H81M-PLUS
Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 1GB
Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 500GB
Other: A standard Xigamatek case fan and some thermal compound and hard drive sound dampener.

Price: 695 GBP

Is there anything you can suggest that is not particularly needed to lower the price for example lowering the RAM if its not going to make a massive difference.

Any improvements or things needed?

Will this be able to play all the popular PC games with good FPS and quality?

Are there any other places that will do this for cheaper?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Try getting a beefier power supply, to leave room for expansion. I would recommend a 600-650W.

if you are soly gaming, then get 8gbs of ram

get a bigger psu

And the gpu will not get the performance you need for all of the newer games out in the market.


And is this a pre built, or is it your custom build that you made yourself on a website?

Power supply is fine, but I'd highly suggest dropping from 16 to 8gb of ram and getting a better GPU a 650 Won't be any good! and you've got a unlocked I5 and a cpu cooler on a H81 BOARD!
