cheers guys. Certainly gaveme some options. As for staying in that budget, LOL do any of us ever stay on budget? so yeah thats ok. well. when it is done. Ill try post what i can. cheers all.

The ryzen 3. I may have to watch a couple of the ltt videos again to see how the ryzen 3 perfomed as i forget haha. But price wise they do look good. I also saw the 1600x for decent price at 116 pounds so.. will check it against price on the r3.

Yh not looking to go overkill, but at least give him upgrade options in the future.

Hi, so i'm looking to build a budget PC, for my 13 year old step son. It will be his first pc. Not really looking to spend over 400 GBP. thinking a am4 platform is looking good. The use of it will be for unity, basics and building his knowledge base up. He will have a low gb ssd to boot. and ill sort it so all saves go to HDD. barracuda 2tb at around 55 quid is good for me. looking for am4 platform as i say. possible a micro atx or mini atx build. video card will be needed so again a low end radeon possibly around the 120 pounds mark. hopefully with built in wifi mobo. cooler will be a hyper 212 x, storage sorted ram.. wont need much over 16gb id think. as for cpu and thread count im not sure how much it needs hence asking for help. cases... well quite like the look of a couple of the new fractals. psu will most likely be a seasonic 450w for about 50 quid. But ultimately. the pc will be used for: low level developer in unity. school work. lol. internet surfing. maybe small amount of gaming. but nothing crazy. so so yep. Any help appreciated in helping bring the costs down as much as possible. haha. Cheers all. Mike

Its not impossible to build a laptop otherwise... surely.. laptops would not exist?? So argument void. Well done there. So @9291Sam you most certainly can build your own laptop. Head on over to https://www.rjtech.com/ you'll find it possible. But whoefully expensive. Something I always thought I'd see done on LTT at some point but never has been. Now I think we should make some noise to get LTT to actually do this as a project. Ship the parts from that website as parts and not pre built. And let the fun unfold. LMAO. But all in all. Hope the site helps and what you should search when looking to do this is Laptop barebones or bare bones laptop kits.
