Cheap gaming pc

buy something better than the r7 240 it is very trashy maybe a hd 7750 (drr5) or 7770 or even 7790 if you have enough to money in your budget else it is the same build as i have except for the ddr3 mine is on 1333mhz

Intel Pentium G3258 Boxed € 59,90

ASRock H81M-HDS € 40,-

Seagate Desktop HDD, 1TB € 46,50

Cooler Master N300 (KKN1, closed) € 30,50

Crucial Ballistix BLS2CP4G3D1609DS1S00CEU € 62,95

be quiet! System Power 7 400W € 39,-

Total € 278,85

then gpu which fits your budget

btw my friend overclocked cpu to 4.1 ghz

you can also upgrade later like first buy a Crucial MX100 128GB

and later a hdd

You can also buy an used pc much cheaper

Where are you buying the parts if you don't mind me asking? I know a decently priced retail store if you have no better options its the cheapest i could find and they should be kinda trustworthy

Also, is that a case+psu combo if it is i'd advise against getting it it. The extremely cheap PSU that comes with it might be a problem later

I would definitely go with G3258 over FX-6300, it is good power for the buck and you can always upgrade to some core-iX when the time comes.

Have to tried reddit ?

Looks solid for the budget.
Only note: please try and save a little extra for the GPU. Since it's a gaming PC, the 240 will hold you DOWN A LOT.
Try hunting on eBay for a 2nd-hand HD7850, HD7870, R7 265, R9 270 or R9 270x. Those extra 30-50€ would give you 2-3 times more performance in games.

My comment on fx-6300 vs G3258. I recently upgraded from a dual core to a quad core and I'd pick the fx-6300. The Pentium is a great budget CPU and overclocks well, but it's still a dual core. What benchmarks don't show is how smoother in real world both general use and gaming the extra cores feel, despite the average FPS.

Listen to others and don't buy that graphics card. With games becoming more demanding, you never want to buy a low budget card.

just build a budget gaming rig for my father, the GPU is a R7 260 and it plays pretty much everything on high or max. So I would suggest getting that if you can. GPU is where you will get best power for dollar.
