Uber cheap gaming pc (lan)

[wotevajjjj]

Hey,
I was wondering if I could go any cheaper than this for a lan build or if there are slightly more expensive things that make a big improvement.
max budget is €350

I'm already impressed with what you get for this type of budget, but please go ahead and blow my mind

I wouldnt really trust that power supply

ms tech themselves say this is a €50 psu so should be somewhat decent i think, but i never used it and also no reviews :s

 

[seumasbeathan]

For a 450w psu that is pretty cheap so Im not sure if I would trust it

I wouldn't risk that PSU as mentioned above. It could take out all of your other components

Maybe save up just a tiny bit more and get a corsair cx500, only to make sure your rig won't blow up and take other components with it too. A power supply is the most dangerous thing to skimp out on, and it's always worth getting something from a manufacturer that you trust. Also, I'd advise against buying into the 7000 series cards, as there are some uber cheap deals on cards like the 6850 which are a generation old, but would perform better than a 7770 (I'm pretty sure)

What would you guys recommend (without raising the price) ?
btw, it wouldn't ever be stressed i think..

 

[yassarikhan786]

Without raising the price, you wouldn't be looking at anything much better than the current one. Just spend a little bit more and get the CX500 as mentioned above, or one of the lower wattage BeQuiet power supplies.

just checked it, cheapest 6850 is €3 more expensive and needs a bigger psu. Saving up isn't really the problem here, just want something like this for fun.

There can't be more than €15-€20 difference inbetween that psu and a cx500, it would be the only thing you'd have to spend a bit more on. Lower quality psu's generally have quite high ripple (anything over 50mv is dodgy) that can kill components in the long run

Definitely would change the psu, wouldnt trust my components on a cheapo one

 

[wotevajjjj]

already changed it..
