With the latest rumors of Valve's living room pc console the Steam Box I thought it would be a cool little project to see how much performance I could get from a small form factor £300 gaming PC - I set my budget at £300 seeing as this is the average launch price of game consoles in the UK. Watch this video and learn what components to pick, how to build a gaming PC and also see the sort of performance you can get at 1080p resolutions!

All games benchmarked were ran at 1920 x 1080 resolution.

Components:


  • 1GB XFX Radeon HD 7770
  • Intel Pentium G850, Socket 1155, Dual Core, 2.90GHz
  • LiteOn IHAS124-04 24x DVD±R
  • Fractal Design Core 1000
  • 500W Storm Silent LPJ19-25
  • MSI H61M-P31 (G3) Motherboard
  • 4GB Corsair Value DDR3 PC3-10600 (1333)
  • 500GB Seagate ST500DM002 Barracuda SATA 6Gb/s, 7200rpm
  • Windows 7 64BIT Professional
