Hey there,

One of my friends said he'd like to start PC gaming, and asked me to put together a list of parts for him. Having built a gaming pc myself, I said i'd be more than happy to help him.

His budget is roughly 750 GBP, including a 1080p monitor (but no other peripherals).

This is the build I am considering suggesting: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

I don't think there's any 1080p monitor for 50gbp, so it's a little over budget with a monitor Please could someone suggest any alterations to improve it, and get it closer to the ideal 750 GBP budget?

Will it be able to run most games on high/max settings at 60fps?

Thanks in advance

Changed to a 8320
got low profile RAM, the 212 evo won't allow for high profile
and managed to fit a monitor in there

Not going to get any better than that.

Just make sure the GPU comes with a VGA/DVI adapter, as i think that monitor is VGA-only :-)

If you need to buy an OS then replace the GTX770 with a R9 270X.
