How can i make a setup?

[Galaxzy]

So, im a 10 year old who adores gaming and have hardly any money for a gaming setup. i only get £10 a week, making it hard to get the equipment i need + want.

any good pc's which i can build for under £100? i use a productivity laptop i won at a tombola, and normally only runs MINECRAFT at 30 fps max. so help!

I would save for as long as you can, if you save for an entire year you could buy a decent laptop or a decent little desktop. Anything for $100 or less is pretty much sure to be terrible

If I were you I would save for a few months at least and try to get something around $400 or $500. After you get the money you can come on here and post asking for help with finding parts and tell us how much you want to spend and we can find a computer based around that amount of money

This sorta depends on what games you would want to play, but if you wanna play something like gta v then a 400 - 500 dollar pc will do nicely, but for less demanding games a 200 - 300 ish dollar pc will be great  - sierra

You won't have much luck with a good gaming PC for that much money. You'll just have to keep saving up until you've got a couple hundred, then you'll be better able to get what you want.

 

I'd say you could look into getting used components off of something like Craigslist, but since you're only 10, that's really not a safe option unless you have your parents make the deals for you.

For that price, the best thing you could do is buy a used office PC and throw a cheap GPU in it. Look on craigslist or look around for a used computer parts store or even a thrift store and find a cheap desktop for around $50. Find a prebuilt Dell, HP, Acer, etc and put a some old GPU like a GTX 550Ti or GTX 7xx series even an old workstation card like a Nvidia FX 3800. That'll get you a great PC for under $100, you just gotta have a little luck and patience.

I suggest you just wait and save your money for around a year and a half, surely you get a bit of money for your birthday and Christmas (if you celebrate it) right? 

 

Maybe if you save a bit of money your family (parents, grandparents, older siblings) would be willing to help you out with the ret, as long as it's not too much. Just show them you are responsible and can save for your own things. 

 

Then when you can afford it buy a cheap PC for around £500 - £650.  Also, since you're young  and probably just interested in games; you could buy a console (XBOX One or PS4) for a bit cheaper (£200 - £250) so you're entertained in the meantime until you can get enough money for a beast PC.  

 

Also, if you're in need of a display, don't make the mistake most people do and buy a huge 40 inch TV, they are not really suited for gaming; try and keep it small (24 - 27 inch is the best for gaming at the moment). But if you can't afford a display just yet, use what you have already, the PC/console should be your main priority. 

 

Hops this helps.
