I think it depends a lot on how many leagues you think you can live with, and the amount of time you can wait between each day progress I play FM12 on a PC made 3 years ago, and I still have no problems running the game. I am currently running 52 leagues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say tight budget, but what exactly is your budget and what do you need with the PC, do you need a monitor etc? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nine_iron Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 You can pick up a decent barebones unit and then add in graphics cards and hard drives on the cheap from gumtree or ebay BTW I have a graphics card I no longer need... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luton Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 You say tight budget, but what exactly is your budget and what do you need with the PC, do you need a monitor etc? I have the monitor and the dvd drive. i want the PC for FM mainly. As for the amount of leagues, i would say around 30. nine_iron what graphics card do you have and how much would you likee for it? Sorry i'm disabled so i'm on a low budget, so i would have to buy the parts over a few months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are going to buy the components and build the system yourself then I would say, from experience, that ebuyer.com are pretty much the cheapest place you will find.

Sorry i'm disabled so i'm on a low budget, so i would have to buy the parts over a few months. Its a Powercolour HD4870 1GB DDR5, used but in good condition as I look after my PC, the fan bearings sound a little worn but I doubt FM will spin it up high enough to notice. New its about 130 ish, when you know more about your prospective rig PM me about it. BTW this, other websites and Youtube videos might help http://www.build-a-computer-guide.com/ My top tip is to ensure you put in the spacers to move the motherboard away from the metal plate, not doing this will result in a nice smoky cloud exiting the PC case when you turn it on I have a few other components, an old soundcard from my old PC that gave it 5.1 surround sound, if your motherboard has not got it and you want it you can have that too.

Oh one more thing what would be the best motherboard to buy Long-term (providing you intend to use an Intel processor), definately try to go for a Z68 chipset model board. Something like: http://www.ebuyer.com/284388-gigabyte-ga-z68p-ds3-z68-socket-1155-8-channel-audio-atx-motherboard-ga-z68p-ds3 is a brilliant board for the money, or: http://www.ebuyer.com/276562-gigabyte-ga-z68ap-d3-z68-socket-1155-8-channel-audio-atx-motherboard-ga-z68ap-d3. But depends what processor you intend to put it in, as boards are designed for specific processor's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
