Can anyone help me build a budget gaming pc? :)

Whats up guys just wanted someone experienced to help me build my rig

Im from the UK so there's less websites to choose from.. scan.co.uk , cclonline.com , aria.co.uk are pretty good

I already have a 500GB Samsung HDD and an nVidia Gigabyte Super.OC Edition GTX260

My budget is around £250-£300 and i need a case, 4gb ram, quad-core processor, mobo, psu and mouse

I'm also looking for a 23-24" monitor (around £140 with good contrast/response rate)

Also, is this selection good for £300?

AMD Phenom II x4 965

ASRock 880GX-USB3

Coolermaster Elite 430

500W Corsair Builder Series

4GB Patriot Viper II.1333MHz RAM Speed, CAS 7-7-7-20 Timings

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

is decent but case is a bit tiny.. it will work is jst.. a bit cramped

To save money id use

Cpu / phenom II 955

Mobo is ok and the psu is good.

case / antec 100

Ram /Corsair Memory XMS3 4GB

As he said, get the 955 instead of the 965 to save a couple of pounds. Case is really up to you TBH.

1333 MHz CAS 7 ram ain't worth it, 1600 MHz CAS 9 usually perform better, and it's cheaper.

and your complete ignorance of anything related to the thread at hand leads me to believe that you are unable to contribute to the conversation in anyway thats worthwhile. so as many folks before me have said: "GTFO"

and if you even think about dragging timings into this you clearly only have one concern on the brain which would be memory overclocking which is quite :lol: indeed
