the noded 202 is pretty expensive. you can build a decent pc in it for £600. however,, with only a slightly larger case, you can drop by at least £50 without losing performance.

I want to switch to PC gaming but do not want a big PC.

Gaming laptops are too expensive but I saw the Node 202 is a tiny case.

 

Can someone please link me a PC parts setup using the Node 202 or any similar size case for not more than £500?

Also, is there any point to switching to PC gaming if my budget is £500 or should I stick to consoles?

Also tell us what you already have. Like mice, keyboards, sounds devices and monitors TV's. etc.
Because for just a PC $500 is not a bad budget.

But if you still need all the peripherals, its gonna be a bit harder.

When i ask for more specs, don't expect me to know the answer!
I'm just helping YOU to help YOURSELF!
(The more info you give the easier it is for others to help you out!)

Not willing to capitulate to the ignorance of the masses!

it's also a bit weird that every month you ask for a new build. are you actually building these?

Building an ITX system is going to be a little tricky at that budget, as even cheapo ITX boards are pretty pricey rn. You could get a decent system with a node 202 for $500 but either stretching your budget a little or looking on the used market is going to be a major step up.

 

This is the closest I could get to being in budget:
