What is it gonna cost?

Post » Thu Jun 28, 2012 5:04 am

After being a console-gamer for years, I just realised that I want to switch to pc gaming(please don't start a flamewar!), because of graphics, mods and the fact that my little brother keeps squatting my PS3. As I don't have a lot of money, but still want to play Skyrim on high, I want to buy a second-hand PC. I know that there already is a thread about system requirenents, but what I wan to know is: what is it gonna cost? Keep in mind that I'm from Holland, so Dutch or European posters could give a better indication.

I've just built a new one so here is my price list in UK £, It might give you a rough idea.

Tower = £50
PSU = £50
Asrock motherboard + 8GB Patriot ram + Core I5 2320 = £180
Asus GTX 560 TI 1GB = £140
Mouse + Keyboard = £20
Blu-Ray Rom = £45

So my PC (that runs Skyrim on ultra @1080p ~ 60fps) cost me £485 UK.

NB: I use my 32" LED TV as a monitor but if you needed a monitor aswell you would need to add £150-£200 for a decent (ish) one.

SO top line in my money for the complete package would be around £700.
