Budget (including currency): Flexibile. Mainly as long as each part dosent exeed £200-300.

Country: England

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: I plan to use this for Minecraft and being able to record my Minecraft gameplay at 60fps 1080p. I will also be using it to programe and play a few other games. I plan to run Windows 10 Pro.

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): I am looking for the parts of just a computer. Not anything else (mouse, keyboard), I've got that sorted. I would also like something that is compatible with most programs. For example (I might be wrong) that windows for arm isn't very stable, isn't publicy avaliable and dosent support half the apps that normal windows does. So some cpu architecture or something that supports most apps.

 

 

I think thats all

@Nucker why $300 a part? Some computer parts are cheaper like a ssd whilst a gpu may cost more. Could you tell us the total?

Well I'm not sure for the total. Obviously if a part needs to be more than 300$ as I said I'm quite flexible however its not be getting it. Its what my parents are getting me for christmas and they don't really understand tech that well. I did try to ask them for a total budget. Sorry

Thats the os that I'm currently using and would like to continue using. Just thought I would add that just in case you needed to know.

@CoolmasterI've made a few changes to the list. Does this seem ok? https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/Nuckerr/saved/QnDpHx

Something to notice is that the 2400G is now not counted in the price, so your build is actually £400 not still £300. And those upgrades are fine but a little unnecessary, you don't really need a CPU cooler for a 2400G the stock cooler is enough and with a budget that tight I wouldn't recommend it, also you can get the 2 sticks of ram as a kit and save a little money https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/QBrYcf/kingston-hyperx-fury-16-gb-2-x-8-gb-ddr4-3200-memory-hx432c16fb3k216, you can save a little money going for a 240GB SSD and a 1TB HDD, or a 2TB HDD for the same price, but you might like the faster SSD speeds.
