Really cheap PC?

[1_thing]

So my friend currently has £200 and really wants a PC to play games such as payday2 and CS:GO.

 

what is the cheapest thing that could run them reasonably e.g: medium settings at 60FPS ??

 

thanks in advance,

your not going to get a decent pc for 200. medium settings isnt even an option at 60 fps.

 

the absolute cheapest i would go for a gaming pc is 300:

That's probably the best you'll be able to get for $200

For a case, tell him to gut his old PC and use that and use his old hard drive for storage. If he wants better parts tell him to use stuff from ebay to get it cheaper.

 

Edit: Oh lol, I just realized that you wanted this in £ not $, one sec.

Edit2: How's this?

th good thing with that build is upgrade ability. you could either get a a10 7850k cpu as an upgrade, more ram, or a gpu because of the 600w psu. i have the 600b in my system and it runs great. im running a i5 and a titan black real dandy.

Like I said, get both of them from whatever PC you had before;
