Stuck

[Matt813]

Hi, I'm looking to build my first computer, I'm not looking to play AAA games or anything fancy, just silly stuff like surgeon simulator, that kind of things, I'll mostly be using it for z brush and editing that sort of stuff. My budget is max £500 (not including monitor) I know it's not a big budget. I'm not sure whether to get a Ryzen 3 2200g and use the integrated graphics or whether to get a graphics card, I know in an ideal world I'd be best off with a graphics card but is it worth it with the sort of things I will be using it for.

Are you comfortable going used? Also I am using a Ryzen 2200G and it works fairly fine for older AAA games, AAA games at low 30fps, or simplier games. The 2200g is not super stong at more editing type stuff though. If your really on a budget maybe go for a 2400G

I can see the benefit of going second hand but I don't really know enough to tell if something is worth buying or whether it's a lemon

Just make sure it wasn't used for mining and maybe make the person show you its working fine

Buying graphics card used would likely get you a 580 in this budget
