UK Gaming Pre-built on the cheap advice

LewisBloom

Hey peoples,

 

wanting to get eldest daughter a little gaming PC for christmas. She plays minecraft, sonic racing, stardew etc.

 

Because I want to turn it on and go rather than have to build it which I unfortunaly dont have time for in the christmas build up/hard to build it and keep it a secret I am going to go pre-built.

 

I've looked on Amazon, ebuyer etc at the classic cyberpower PC's and cheap random amazon builds but before I buy a little cheap gaming desktop thought I'd ask in case anyone has any advice or deals on where is best to get such a little system ideally under £500, the cheaper the better.

 

cheers

Lewis

its a bit on the expencive side, but get this and configure it with a B450 motherboard and a 240GB SSD.

 

it will be a good plattform for future with plenty of upgrade options to keep the system going for a long time

 

it should come out at 480£

 

 

you can get a better deal if you are building yourself, but this is just about what you are looking for. 

 

edit: you can also configure it to have a different case to save a little bit there aswell. somthing like the mg110 from Couger is a nice choice

well, think about 2200g and 2400g desktop's. they are pretty cheap and do basic gaming pretty well for the price

Since the games she plays that seems to be not so demanding have you considered going used pre-built route?
