Hi guys!
New to this and despite the numerous amount of scrapyard wars I've watched, I have no clue when it comes to buying my own device. Looking for a tower that I can game on (Assassins Creed etc) for under £500 if that's even possible? I've already a mouse/keyboard/monitor etc, just need the actual set up as my mac is awful for gaming!
Thanks!

do you want to build your own, or buy an oem pc like Dell or Acer and the like?

 

diy pc go with amd ryzen 2600 cpu, with ram speed of 3600 and 2x8gb viper steel ram and a cxm 2017 psu, cheapest case you can find.

b450 motherboard
16gb of ddr4 ram @3200Mhz
500W 80+ at least bronze 
500gb ssd storage

ryzen 5 2600

It's not massively cheaper at the low end, the advantage to building your own is that you get all standard parts. With some prebuilts you can get really non standard motherboards and power supplies that really limit upgrade potential

If he has only a 500 pound budget, he won't get a lot more than 1080p 60fps, or am I wrong here?

I thought so! Tbf I'm not fussed about upgrade potential as it'll only be for light gaming/uni work for the next 3-4 years and if i want something heavier I can look at that down the line!

I have a 60 hertz monitor at the moment and don't plan on upgrading that until I move in the summer and get a dual monitor set up :)

That is about 500-550 pounds new, but you could look for:

Used ryzen 2600/2700

Used cpu cooler (like that arctic)

Used b450 boards.

That ram is good price for new, so no need to get used.

You could look for used 1650 super or even 1660 super.

Look for better cases than that, thats ugly af.

Do not buy used psu:s because, you cant know how much they have used it and it can break in a year.

That sx8200 pro is actually prettu good, check this review: https://hothardware.com/reviews/adata-xpg-sx8200-pro-review

That t-force ram is pretty good for the price.

The arctic freezer duo is very good for the price

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler
