Budget (including currency): 

Country: £100ish

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Light gaming

Other details: I know I won't get some amazing pc or anything but I have £100ish to work with and want to get a base computer I can upgrade over time, for now something that can run light games will work as I will just upgrade it slowly, I will be putting about £100ish into this each month but would like something to use for anything quickly, I don't mind second hand parts and pieces, if someone could help me find some parts that would help, thanks

I really don't think you could even build a full PC to use quickly for £100 just this month onwards if that's what your hope is. You'd be best to just save for the coming months until you have a decently sized budget to properly build what you need.

Wait 6-7 months and get a solid new generation budget PC, which you can use for the next 5+ years.

You can get a base computer sure. But it won't be worth upgrading over time since it will be too old.

 

For 100 pounds you are looking at a used dell,hp,lenovo i5 2nd or 3rd gen, 8gb ram with ssd tower. Which is then NOT WORTH POURING MONEY IN TO AS IT WILL COST MORE THAN A NEW SYSTEM AND BE FAR WORSE.

 

But it will get you a computer to browse the internet.

 

So if you REALLY need a computer. Get a system like this and then keep saving the money you are gathering till you have a decent sum (like 1000 pounds). Then you will get a good system and not a system that will cost more and do less if you got the continuous upgrade path.
