Answer 1

Obviously loads of suggestions but will keep the advice within your very limited £250- 300 budget.



No the motherboard you list does not have any integrated graphics. Se full specs here: http://www.pcupgrade.co.uk/productdetails.asp?ProductID=10332&categoryid=653



Yes all the components are compatible with each other.



The Nvidia 210 GPU is VERY limited in it's graphic capabilities but i guess you know that.....you really need to spend £55- 60 on a Radeon HD 5670 to get decent frame rates at even low quality. XFX card here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/XFX-RADEON-5670-775M-GRAPHICS/dp/B0035EQNI6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1327164920&sr=8-2



Having a budget of maximum £300 does not give you much choice for hardware and so it is difficult to suggest alternative parts that may be better.



You could consider getting an AMD Athlon II X4 631 with a compatible mobo instead of the Intel G620. The Athlon is quad core and costs around £10 more, well worth the extra money for performance. Buying a new rig with a dual core is not great idea as loads of software can now take advantage of quad cores and above. See here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/AMD-Athlon-2-60GHz-Socket-Technology/dp/B005I2YN80/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1327165210&sr=1-2



The only other thing that I would point out is that if you ever want to have an upgrade to a half decent graphics card, you will also need to upgrade the PSU. So suggest you get a 450w [min] psu. Like the Antec VP450P: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Antec-VP450P-450W-Power-Supply/dp/B004BLMFSE/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1327164823&sr=8-5

Answer 3

You are looking at around a $300 to $500 usd budget. If you are just wanting basic surfing and maybe some light gaming you may want to go another route like an AMD APU. They have built in HD discrete level graphics. You would have HD graphics from the get go and can add a discrete amd 6xxx series graphics card down the road that will do a hybrid crossfire with the apu for added "ooomph" Check out the reviews on them before you decide on intel. Check new egg. If you are building a strictly high end gaming machine I would say intel I5 or I7 but for "budget builds" APU's are about the best bang for the buck....The new A8 3870K and A6 3670K are both quads and overclockable......

Answer 4

If you want to play MW3, you will need to upgrade your video card slightly. Even on the lowest settings you probably won't get many frames. Also, the CPU, you could get away with a dual core i3 around 3 ghz for relatively cheap. If you do this the power supply will be needed to be upgraded to probably around 400-500 watt. ya upgrade the video to a gtx 260 and you'll get decent frames on medium setting or even high

Answer 5

I wouldn't buy that now. You're really scraping the bottom of the barrel, and while that may save money now, in the end you'll end up not satisfied, which will cost you more as you scrap all of that.



I certainly wouldn't expect Modern Warfare 3 to work well on it. That doesn't fit my definition of lite gaming.

Answer 6

you will probably want a better CPU for even light gaming and probably streaming and for even light gaming i would recommend a dual core either a i3 or AMD equivalent. You defiantly need a better GPU i would recommend the Radeon HD 6750 for what you are saying very good value and will have no problems with what you say. and if you do upgrade the GPU you will need to upgrade the PSU to around 500w and about the budget it is very hard to make even a slight gaming PC for under £400-£450 as even if you only game for a bit the games are just as strenuous as for a case a good value good looking case. two good ones are either (http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Cases/MIDI+Tower/BitFenix+Shinobi+Black+with+Window+Midi+Tower+Chassis+?productId=44844&source=googleps) it is slightly cheaper and has better reviews or the (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Storm-Mid-Tower-Scout-Case/dp/B0027YSEBE/ref=wl_it_dp_o_npd?ie=UTF8&coliid=I264FG7JGXKXQB&colid=2PMQC68EYL3ZW) this one looks better has more lights and fans is a bit more expensive and has less reliable reviews but both will be fine it is personal preference you will be happy with either.

Answer 7

I think u should get CPU, intel i5, Mobo with H67 B3chipset, GPU at least 1 GB DDR3, PSU about 500W
