Gaming/general PC

Blue Badger · 2010-07-21 23:39:14

hey guys I'm wanting to build a pc for general use and gaming. I've never done this before so any advice would be great. I'm on a bit of a budget too, about 300-400 euro. So any suggestions (like where to buy the parts) would be great! cheers :D

400e - I would suggest looking for one on adverts. For that you're looking at Gen-minus-one hardware: Dualcore processor, basic motherboard, and a lastgen graphics card. You also have to factor in the operating system, case, power supply, ram hard disk and DVD drive. It would be tight, but yes its doable.
