    Hi. I'm Bub. And I need your guy's help.
    I need a new computer as my current PC is very slow and old. I am looking for a desktop PC which I would build by hand and not by a pre-made as I believe this is cheaper (Correct me if I am wrong)
    I currently do not have a price range but I would like to not go over £400. ($624.96)
    I already have a monitor so that does not need to be included.
    Many thanks ~ Bub :heart:

    im not an expert a custom pc builds, but I recommend asking at PcPartPicker for a build within your budget. just create an account and ask the community to create a part list for you in the forums. good luck on your future build :)

    Also, go for AMD parts. They are much cheaper than Intel and NVidia.

    Looks good. But go check out the AMD FX-6300 CPU and the AMD R9 270X looks like a nice videocard

    Looks really good. Would it fit/is there a required space for a video card?

    I am appalled you are recommending such filth as AMD for a custom-built PC.

    AMD tends to run hotter so you might need to buy an after market cpu cooler if you want it to run at it's best and last longer.

    I would go for another 8 Gb memory and just upgrade your motherboard if there's not space. Also, you should really look into a better HDD. 50 bucks is a bit cheap for one TB...
