That seems like a solid build to me, would this card not be better though? [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Nope. 380 out-performs the 960 and has better DX12 support.

Well all I done was look at the options when I set the price limit on the card to £165, I can go a little over man.

Yeah so from what I hear, this is a really good card for what I'm looking for performance wise and price. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

I've had a quick scan of the builds and have come up with a couple of builds.

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

2nd build if you can go over. Why?

Well, " light casual gaming" means to me anyways, games like CS-GO, LoL and general games like that - Easy to run, not graphically demanding games. If you would have said a couple of games, we could have adjusted for that.

Sanctyy's build is flawed. Reasons we dont use PCPP is that sometimes, shipping isnt included in the said price so in Sanctyys build, your paying an extra £11.44 on shipping plus the HDD is discontinued so your going to have to look else where for that. [CCL do it but is still £3 shipping.]

The 370 IMO is more than enough for the light, casual gaming that you want to do. Dont expect every setting cranked because your not going to get it but you will be able to play on low/medium on new games and high on the simple, casual games you wanted.

The CPU is no slouch either and will be able to keep up with your needs in the adobe suite.

A well rounded starter PC IMO.

Well any game that arises that I would want to play, I'd like to be able to play it at 1080p at a decent FPS. Does that help?

The ones in brackets are the ones I've had experience with with that card. Its basically a 7850 with 4GB of ram 2GB I thought all 300 cards had 4GB of ram...

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ] which is a 7850 which is also the 370. Confusing ehy. Bare in mind that the 370 should perform better than the 265 but not by much due to the higher clock speeds.
