What Price Should I Be Paying For a Decent Gaming PC (Built Myself)?

best gaming pc for 700 pounds image

Toby

Just wondering what price would be best to purchase components for a PC that could run the latest games. I'd like to run them in full 1080p and with settings as high as possible, however, I don't want to be spending way too much money simply for ultra settings. This would be games like Skyrim, Battlefield 3, Assassin's Creed, etc. I've seen many Americans saying $700-$800, but in British Pounds that's only like £500, which didn't seem right?

Thanks

If you really want a gaming computer that can play any games at max settings, it will be Atleast, $800, not including a monitor and operating system. Heres a breakdown:
CPU - $200
GPU - $200
MoBo - $150
RAM - $40
Hard Drive - $60
Power Supply - $60
Case - $60
Optical Drive - $25

About $850, but don't forget you can get a bunch of sales and rebates to lower it down to about $800

I would recommend you personally build the PC yourself. It is much better and the performance is greater for less money. With 600-700 you could buy a low end gaming PC but if you were to build one for the same money you would get a high end gaming PC. Buying a laptop would be waste of money and would be a stupid decision because gaming laptop tend to have overheating issues when playing games and will damage your motherboard plus if they break its a waste of £700 because there difficult or costly to repair unless you get like 5 years full warranty.

Building a PC is pretty simple to be honest, you get an instructions manual which will show you where to connect the cable, where to put your processor ect. Plus there must be tons of videos on YouTube that show you how to build a PC.


Check out http://www.cclonline.com. They are pretty cheap and have a custom PC configurator to makes things easier http://www.cclonline.com/systems/?utm_source=Homepage&utm_medium=LeftBanner&utm_campaign=Configurator. If you decide not to build it yourself they can build it for you for a charge of £45. They also have pre built systems which are better than PCs made by manufacturers. They also offer a Guarantee on their products and systems.
In my opinion this is a better option than buying a PC from a manufacturer since they have many faults at times.

Hope this helps.
