Gaming Setup - Uzinero - 07-06-2014
Losi dun' started us a trend!
CPU:
AMD A8-5600K
Motherboard:
Gigabyte F2A55M-DS2
Graphics:
2048MB ATI AMD Radeon HD 6670
Ram:
16 GB 1333Mhz (Idk the brand or any shit and cba to check)
HDD:
2TB SSHD (Solid State Hybrid Drive) - Had to buy this myself for £80 a few months back because the fags who made my PC used refurbished parts without mentioning it so drive failed a year after buying it.
Mouse:
Logitech M235
Keyboard:
Logitech K120
Monitor:
AOC I2757FH
The build is kinda sucky tbh, but was on a tight budget and the people who sold it were buying parts in bulk (and refurbished ones, though they didn't say so >.> - Fuck you Vibox Gaming) so it cost me less than it would to build it myself. Owned it for a year and 6 months now. I want to build a full on Gaming PC sometime though, but will take a while, need to get my money together then do some shits with it so I can actually build an amazing gaming PC, but meh, maybe DDR4 and the new Intel chips will be out by then and I can see the prices and decide on upgrades to the planned build (not gonna post the planned eventual build here because I tinker with it almost daily.) Oh, I also can't remember what the PSU is and cba to check, but I think it's 600W of I remember correctly.

"tight budget" when you could have easily saved money by going with 4GB of ram, even 8...16GB is so overkill.

When I said it was pre built because they bought in bulk so the parts were cheaper than I could have got it for myself...

Don't have a camera otherwise I would, but it has this case: http://www.amazon.co.uk/DESKTOP-COMPUTER-Galaxy-Bubble-Windows/dp/B005IDO352/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1404696146&sr=8-2&keywords=galaxy+gaming+bubble+case
and this monitor: http://www.amazon.co.uk/AOC-I2757FH-Widescreen-Multimedia-1920x1080/dp/B00A46Y6DW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1404696175&sr=8-1&keywords=aoc2757fh
so you can kinda visualise it.

Actually, when I built my own desktop computer, I noticed that (when on a budget) some of the most expensive stuff you'll get are the monitor and Windows OS, though that is on my rig, which has the following specs:
CPU - AMD Athlon II x3 3.4GHz
GPU - NVidia GeForce GT 630
RAM - Kingston 4Gb DDR3 (don't remember the speed, and am not on my desktop right now)
MoBo - ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3
Monitor - Samsung 22'' or 23'' 1920x1080px.
Keyboard & mouse - some random one for now. I've ordered a new one from amazon though. that would be a AULA keyboard/mouse combo.
I'm thinking of building another computer, but that will have to wait another year or so, depending on whether I can make some money over the winter or not.
How much did this cost you?

I don't quite remember, it was something and £80, either £280 or £380, what I do remember for sure though is when I configured the same parts on pcpartpicker, it came to around £70 more so it was worth what I paid at the time.

For me 4GB is enough.But I don't play hard demand games.
