Not a chance for £350, you're looking at a budget build only for that cash, light gaming at a push.
I know your custom building but I just quickly looked and this is pretty decent for £350:

Comes with an OS as well. Custom build something like that and the money you save not having an OS could get you a graphics card.
Can anyone at least try.. this isnt for me..
i think your best bet is to keep saving....
Does it need to include a screen?
Are Mesh the same company that sold in shops like Tescos? I seriously can't remember and only recently (sort of) got one for my mum for like £500 (probably because of the Intel processor and 1TB storage) :S They're quite a good computer company either way :)Quote:

If he wanted a monitor included, it won't be possible to buy a gaming PC as well.
To be fair, not too shabby lol.Quote:

Maybe you could look on ebay? Sometimes you can get some quite good deals on there as long as you don't mind it being slightly burnt out :P
The PC I Specified will play most games maxed out.
Yeah that is very true, it would be able toQuote:

You could go cheaper on the DVD drive and the case and get an even better graphics card than that actually!
What card do you suggest
4870? With budget PCs I tend to get a fairly cheap case.
I'm not clued up on model numbers, it just stands to reason that if you save a couple of quid on parts that you can go cheap on, you can put it towards improving other parts :)Quote:

Not exactly, gaming PCs are computers designed to run games at near-to-top-spec - thus the reason they're gaming computers. They're not designed to be top-spec for the sake of it, otherwise they're just impressive, super computers (or whatever the wording is, too tired :P).Quote:
