good gaming pc for around £450-500

[Maxb89]

Budget (including currency): £450-500

Country: UK

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mostly just things like discord, Minecraft, rocket league, and editing videos.

Other details: I already have everything else like a monitor, just need a good pc that can run games at 60fps 1080p for around this price range. Thank you for any help!

Prices for hardwares vary from area to area, but about 500 pounds you option is pretty limited.

Maybe a 1060 super with i5 10400 or r5 3600, get an okay motherboard and cheap 16gb rams. If you have some extra money to spend maybe also get a larger size ssd.

For that price the best you can do is an APU,which isn't a good gaming PC.

I'd honestly get the GPU used.

Something like this would do quite well. A bit of a performance bump over buying the new 1050 Ti. You get the eBay DOA warranty too. If you can find something like an RX 470/480/570/580 or GeForce GTX 970/980/1063/1066 local for cheaper, I'd go for it.

 

If you have the cash to spare, buy a case fan like this:

You can get a Windows key from AliExpress, generally any one of the stores are fine.
