Cheap budget gaming pc

[Chuby123]

Hi i want to build a great gaming rig for about £600 and i have came up with

Motherboard : Gigabyte GA-PH67A-UD3

Cpu : Intel core i3 2100 3.1ghz

Gpu : Asus ATI Radeon HD 6870 DirectCU

Ram : 4gb Mushkin silverline 1337mhz

Hdd : Western digital caviar black 640gb

Case : Coolermaster haf 912

Power supply : Corsair builder 600w

Optical drive : Samsung SH-s223c

I only want to play games like Call of duty 4, Portal 2 and counter strike ! Maybe even other Call of duty's ! thanks

Only thing I would change is the 912, supposedly the build quality on that particular case isn't up to snuff.

Perhaps the 690 II or the Enforcer are to your personal liking?

Stump up an extra 30 notes for the GPU and you could get one of these instead...

Tom made a budget aria rig for under £600 I would build this and the rig has a 6870 and i3-540 at 4.4 GHz.

I think I would rather go SB than i3 540 if it were me...

but you cant over-clock with the i3-2100 its stock at 3.10 but each to their own. I can see what you mean though mate.

Good point - I'd like to see some benchies between the 2.

The mobo cpu and ram with overclock were £209 it was meant to be a £550 - £600 budget - oh and that was before SB

So on a £600 budget would you go SB or i3?

Still a good budget-build though pal I would be happy with that budget-rig even even if everyone is going for SB

I'd go with the i3 2120 (SB).
