Build Advice Cheap Build

Hey all,

New here. I was wonderin can anyone build me a cheap base pc. Around £200-300. Just using for streaming videos that is all. Won't need a big HD at all. Thanks

 

What are you after? Just motherboard, CPU, memory? Graphics? Case?

 

Yea all of those.

 

for this price range you are looking at a consumer desktop or laptop. unless you want Windows 7 RC1 until march. then something basic like an AMD 760/ 780 chipset. would be perfect

 

yea a desktop i'm looking for. You guys can help me build one plz?

 

AMD 780G motherboard, Athlon II X2 250, 4GB of DDR2, Corsair CX400W PSU and a 250GB hard drive with an Antec 300 should do you nicely

 

thanks for the reply. I was wondering is there a smaller case than the antec 300??

 

Yup, loads. Look for a M-ATX case. This selection should get you started (just don't choose one that has a PSU, because the PSU will be rubbish):

Just make sure the motherboard is M-ATX too (most 780G motherboards are).

 

thanks.

I was wondering will this PSU fit into this case case

 

From the pictures on eBuyer's website it looks like it will fit just fine.

 

ok thanks.

I've got for:

Ram
Case
MB
PSU
HD
CPU
what are your opinions thanks

 

What about optical drive?

 

I would not buy an Abit board - the company is no longer in business

 

i've got a spare optical drive already thanks.
So abit isn't gd.

 

PSU: The Corsair CX400W will be good.
RAM: 4GB anything corsair will do, 2x2gb.
HDD: Any SATA drive really, 500gb = £40.
