250-300 pounds wouldn't really be enough for a new gaming PC, upgrade the family rig or get a used workstation and upgrade.

Okay, so i've never build a pc before and dont know whether i should upgrade the family pc which i now own which is an acer Veriton with an i3 and 4gb of ram or whether to build a new pc with my budget of around £250, can go higher to about £300.

What motherboard and power supply are in that system?

 

If you're fine with like 30-45 fps in AAA games, and 60fps in esports games, just toss a used RX 470/480/570/580 into it, and maybe upgrade the power supply.

 

If the motherboard bios can be upgraded and the VRM isn't like single phase you can try throwing a cheap used i7 into it.

 

Otherwise you're maxxing out your budget just getting an APU

 

Unless you just reuse your powersupply/case/storage, in which case look for a used 2400G or 3400G at ~$100 max, then just add a better powersupply/GPU later

 

The Pro 4 should have an updated Ryzen 3000 bios by now.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?
