Hi I would like to know which is the cheapest and quality gaming pc ?
The cheapest way is to build it yourself, your looking at a powerful CPU, plenty of RAM running a top end graphics card all attached to a high-end motherboard, doing it yourself you can reduce the cost on other parts like lower-end sound card if your not that bothered for pitch perfect sound, you can also get a low cost case as long as you make sure its got plenty of cooling to keep your kit running. run a low cost CD/DVDrom drive too and a low size hard drive but make sure you get a SSD hard drive as this will be quicker than a normal drive.

Hi Blackwidow, I am in the process of building a gaming rig myself at the moment, as my Asus laptop is starting to struggle with some of the games i play on it. Was wondering what any of the TechKings members think of my build then. Items i have already purchased...
- Game Max Volcano Gaming Case for PC with Green LED Front Fan
- MSI 970 Gaming AMD AM3 GBE LAN ATX Motherboard
- Cooler Master RR-212E-16PK-R1 Hyper 212 Evo "Ultra High Performance, 4 Direct Contact Heat Pipes, Universal CPU Cooler" Black
Items that i have still to purchase...
- EVGA NVIDIA GTX 750Ti FTW with ACX Cooling 1189MHz (Boost 1268MHz) 5400MHz 2GB 128-bit GDDR5 HDMI DVI-I DP PCI-E Graphics Card
- Corsair CMY8GX3M2A2133C11 Vengeance Pro Series 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 2133Mhz CL11 XMP Performance Desktop Memory Kit Black/Silver
- EVGA 100-B1-0500-KR - 500W 80 Plus Bronze Power Supply (100-B1-0500-KR)
- Seagate ST1000DM003 3.5 inch 1TB Barracuda Hard Drive
AMD FX6300 Black Edition 6 Core (3.5/4.1GHz, 8MB Level 3 Cache, 6MB Level 2 Cache, Socket AM3+, 95W,
Will probably add an SSD drive somewhere down the line ( when i have more cash lol ) but this build sitting at a modest £456:73p, which for a gaming rig is relay quite cheap.
Yea I'm sorry but its not what I would build for a gaming PC myself, I'd look more at:
MSI X99A SLI PLUS Intel LGA2011-3 ATX Motherboard USB 3.0 - X99A SLI PLUS - CCL Computers

depending on what games, screen & resolution size you want to play but Id say your graphics card is the weakest component for gaming & would look towards getting a better card

Hello guys, many thanks for all your input then, and totally agree that I 7 and 32 gb totally unnecessary for gaming. And as to the graphics card i choose, its all down to cash my friends, and trying to keep cost to the minimum, as i am working to a very tight budget.

I would suggest going second hand a 7950 which is almost double performance wise can be had for like £60 the current card is far too weak even for someone on low budget.
With the £50 saving from graphics card put that towards an ssd or jump to I5 intel.
If new is only option I would choose this for under £500 which will destroy what you have put together
