Helping a Friend

[5M1FFY5]

Hey, so im currently working on a list for my friend who is on a very strict budget of £350. He has asked for a pc for genral use and some lite gaming.

This is the list i have came up with at this point any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

CPU: Ryzen 3 2200g

MBoard: ASRock A320M-HDV

RAM:Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x4gb 3000Mhz

GPU:GTX 970

PSU:Corsair CV450

HDD:WD Blue

Case:Some random thing online

Seems pretty good; make sure to get an SSD.

do you have the gtx970 already?

Unless you’re friend is against it, I would go for used. You can usually find much better bang for your buck in used at this price range.

They want it to be as new as possible im using a few used parts such as CPU, GPU and RAM

go AMD (Radeon RX 570 or something). Also, for your CPU, I would get Ryzen 3100 if your country has it priced right.

Thanks, I have now changed the GPU to the RX 570 which is saving around £30 and the 3100 is like £100 extra than the 2200g I found so that does not make a whole lot of sense for me.

ok. it was supposed to be $100. The 2200G is not great but you can get by
