upgrading a refurb pc from amazon

[TSM_RX7]

I would like to buy a refurb pc from Amazon and upgrade it from its  current specs intel core 2 duo 4gb ram 16gb HDD too intel core i3-8100 8gb ram GTX 1050 TI  1tb HDD 240gb SSD 

it comes standard with a monitor keyboard+mouse but want to get a better system https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B012AUCJ8I/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2SCJBGYOSKGAU&psc=1

if someone could reply ASAP that would be great thanks

looks like a 17" 4:3 monitor to me, is that what you want...?

remember to pick half height parts for that case, better go through deassembly of that pc first

wait... that would be about starting from scratch... and I'd definitely make some different choices

 

budget in mind?

Few things you can salvage from it are the case, possibly crappy power supply, and crappy peripherals. Buying new one's are not that expensive, and you'll get better parts with warranty.

 

Given the quality of the parts, I'd say it's not really worth it. But if you are desperate to save a few bucks, you can go for it.

Well I want to get a 24inch monitor like the one I have at home but here in my boarding school and a mechanical keyboard + gaming mouse 

 I am aiming to build a budget gaming pc for boarding school so I don't have to game in low graphics on my laptop since I can't bring my £1800 gaming pc to here

My thought too - be better to either buy single parts or those ‘combo’ packages (cpu,mobo,ram) from newegg or amazon

[TSM_RX7]

My budget is £250 maximum if I can go less that would be even better every week I  get £45 so I can buy parts whenever really

Define ‘budget’ ?

 

£500? £1000?

 

cross post. So a £250 budget. That would seem near impossible including mech Keyboard, mouse and monitor

and the 8100 and 1050 ti are these days a horrible value imo

Aren’t 570’s like same priced as those 1050Ti’s and perform better?
