Gaming build for £600

[Gibson]

Hi,

I have built plenty of PC's but mainly big systems for pro audio and video. I've been asked to build a gaming system for someone that has a budget of £600 and would like some advice please.

Id like to be able to future proof the system where I can and also have best performace for the money.

Can anyone advise please?

Many Thanks
Joe

Also ideally the graphics card needs a HDMI output aswell please. (I always get stuck with graphics cards for games!)

Many thanks
Joe

You probably could get something with FX6300 and 7870i.
Will give you a list bit later.

awesome thanks for your help

If possible though can the builds contain Intel CPU's only because the past I've had the worst experience with AMD and there support lol

You will be looking at £750 if you want intel CPU. AMD generally provide good value.

You may also consider waiting for the new fm2+ range that is due out.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. Are you able to knock up an intel build for £750 out of interest?

many thanks
