Looking to buy a pc need help.

[Deleted]

Heya guys i get paid this week and i only got a budget of £400-£450 for a pc, now then i am looking for a pc that can play diablo 3 and starcraft 2 and wow and the mass effect series on max settings with a stable of 50fps or higher if it goes any higher.

Can anyone recommend me some pcs pre-built *as i do not know how to build my own* and with the links to pictures and websites and prices.
Thanks

£450 / $720

I'll be honest, with those criteria and budget, that might be pretty dang hard to pull off. The best we can likely do is find something in that budget, and you get what you get pretty much. Pre-builts are very limited, and are often over the top, or budgety budget budget.

£400-£450 for a pc

max settings

50fps or higher

Not gonna happen. Add £2-300 and you might have a chance.

With that budget you'll be looking at ~30fps with almost max settings.

For a pre-built PC in UK with those expectations you are looking at £600+ incl VAT.

There are some choices if you're willing to increase your budget to upto £500. I think £450 is just too small a budget to expect reasonable performance.

In case of Starcraft and WoW you'll have to sacrifice some settings but you will see above 40fps in some scenarios

1) From Overclockers.co.uk CPU i3 3220, GPU AMD 7850, 500GB HDD, PSU Cooler Master Elite 500W, 8GB RAM ~ £480 (includes shipping) ~£540 with an operating system.

2) From Aria CPU AMD 6300, GPU AMD 7770, 2TB HDD, PSU Corsair CX 500W, 8GB RAM ~ £460 (includes shipping)

3) From Scan CPU i3 3220, GPU AMD 7750, 500GB HDD, PSU Corsair CX 430W, 4GB RAM, Windows 7 Home edition ~ £480 (includes shipping). NB make sure you customise this build and choose the 7750.

Now i've ranked them in terms of performance. The only thing which limits your FPS in those builds is the CPU, but thats only WoW tbh. Number 1) and 2) should handle most of your games @1080p with good FPS.

I also forgot to mention, choices 1 and 2 do not include an operating system. In other words you'll have to purchase windows. That's an extra cost of £70

Now i've ranked them in terms of performance, although 2 and 3 are fairly close. The only thing which limits your FPS in those builds is the CPU, but thats only WoW tbh. Number 1) should handle quite well @1080p.

Those are much better than the builds I found while looking around. The first build is lacking an operating system though.

Yeah, I've updated my original post. The systems aren't perfect by any means. Just bear in mind that you can call up these vendors and negotiate price and specs. So its still possible to get an okay build for under £500. @OP Try and negotiate with these vendors to include an OS. Make sure not to go under an i3 3220/ i3 2100 or an AMD FX 6300 CPU wise and in terms of GPU not to go under an AMD 7770/GTX 650 ti.
