What low-end PC can you get for £230

[likkanchung]

I have a friend that can't live with low FPS laptop gaming.

He needs at least 40 FPS on highlander games (Team Fortress 2) with low quality for about £230

 

Preferably, can you give a list on PC Part-Picker. I don't know a lot about AMD stuff, as I think Intel and Nvidia are much better, but I know AMD is better for a low budget.

 

Please help, Thank You.

There's absolutely no reason to purchase a pc at 230£. Tell him to suck it up and save his money.

 

You'd also need to include if he needs periphirals aswell.

This is probably the best you will get for the money

My laptop can run TF2 fine (mind it being 1366x768) and it was like $500 CAD, which is about £270. I think it's possible.

 

It was easy:

my mistake

[Paralectic]

A console

[likkanchung]

He just told me that he doesn't want to build it if he can avoid it.

Also, he has a gaming mouse, but that's it.

If he doesnt want to build he is screwed exept if he picks up something from Ebay.

[Probenja]

Wait till he has £300 and get this.
