Dear PC Gaming Master Race,

Im looking to build a new computer for gaming, on a bit of a budget so not talking totally high end, but something that has room to upgrade over time, so i was thinking starting with an i3 or i5 and then maybe in a year or so i could get an i7.

I also want it to be pretty small so i can move it around, put it the lounge as a steam box when i get the occasional PC game i want to play on the big screen. 

So im thinking either mAtx or mItX motherboard and a small cube case, but one that can still hold a normal size graphics card, its been like 10 years since i built my last PC so very much out of the loop. 

So looking for suggestions on :

  • mATX ITX Mobos
  • processor
  • graphics card
  • amount of ram
  • speed of ram
  • smallest cases that can fit this stuff in

Tah!
