Hi all!
 

I'm currently looking at building a budget gaming PC for £250-300 (Pref using secondhand parts). I'm currently looking at the website: John Pye Auctions | Public Online Auctions UK | Bid Live (johnpyecorporate.com) where I can get some great deals on motherboards, CPUS as well as coolers. But I have to use potentially amazon for the storage, thermal paste and case.

 

I was wondering if anyone can help put together a Ryzen 5 build Pref in the budget range and include links? I may also use Ebay for other parts, but I find it difficult to know where to look.

 

Looking forward to hearing what you come up with.

 

Kind regards,

 

Autumn

For £250-£300 i reckon youll find better value in used prebuilts that people just want rid of or similar, also something to think about, i very much doubt youll also be in the "mid" tier range of gaming for that price, you will still be able to run some games fine and others at compromise though

Best option is to get an used PC in your price range, but we can't help you much finding deals...

Now don't set expectations too high, £300 is the price of a new low mid level GPU alone...
