I don't want to build a pc myself so don't bother telling me to build one.

 

Thanks!

Between those two only, the second (red) one. But neither of them are that good.

 

Just from a quick look around Amazon UK, either of these three are better:

 

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ankermann-PC-SILENT-STAR%C2%B5-BUNDLE-4260219651981/dp/B005ET4MTM/ref=sr_1_11?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1431196795&sr=1-11&keywords=i3+750

If you can spend a bit more:

The 750ti one. But really you should build a pc.

[iWillzHD]

The reason why I don't want to build one is that I don't need a really powerful computer to play the games that I play

[Colt_0pz]

what types of games are you gonna play?
and building a pc is ez regardless of budget.

laptop or desktop? if it's a desktop, you might be able to get a gtx 750ti and put it in there

I would get one of those 3 you linked but I don't want to pay an extra £70 on buying windows 7 so I tried to look for a bundle with windows

one of the pc's I linked had a 750 TI would that run all of those?

[MeMe]

I play Gmod, CSGO, Black Ops 2 and minecraft but sometimes arma 3

you said you dont need a powerfull pc, but the pc ive atm cant even run the arma 3 ( also when i got it from a subscriber of me ) and black ops 2 and when i play csgo all low settings i havbe around 32 fps so you need a better one than this atleast

[Colt_0pz]

yea. don't expect the power of a gtx 780 tho.

EDIT: maybe go for a gtx 760 if you can afford it or even a gtx 960 at around $250

EDIT: an r9 270x is a cheaper alternative

The first one for 350 pounds and has i3+GTX 750 has Windows 7

The pc that I have now is a worse one than I linked and it runs all of those games, Arma on 30 fps

Or get something like this and add your own GPU like 750Ti http://www.dell.com/uk/p/inspiron-3847-desktop/pd?oc=cd84727&model_id=inspiron-3847-desktop

That one is from Germany, It will require german sockets and it comes with a german version of windows

why do ppl pay for an os online man. just goto /r/microsoftsoftwareswap to get windows for much cheaper. i got 8.1 pro for only $25 or 16 pounds

I personally don't trust that shit... it is my thing.  It maybe legit, but I can pirate it for free, so why pay $25 for a pirated version?

 

I have had the urge to try it to see it they are legit, but Win10 is coming, so... no.

[Vozella]

You could have something prebuilt.

Thats because some people don't trust people

For reference, I just tossed together a quick PC on PCPartPicker.com's UK version and came up with one just barely over £150 including mouse and keyboard - still needs an OS and monitor but you're good otherwise: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/3ypVXL

Basically the cheapest computer I'd be at all comfortable putting together for someone. Does not include VAT or the like. And putting a computer together is really easy. That being said, depending on your budget, I'd recommend a few things:

 

- Intel seems to be the way to go these days with a small handful of exceptions. Overall their gaming performance tends to beat out most AMD chips at the same price point, even at the lower end of the budget. You may wish to reference this link (which is updated monthly; what you see in June won't have the same selections as in May, which will have changed since April) to see where to spend your CPU money.

- If you're using onchip graphics (like in this system) for gaming, I'd highly recommend 8 GB, but if you have a dedicated video card, 4 GB is fine. Most regular people - including gamers - don't really have a need for more than 16 GB at this point.

- Get yourself a power supply that has an 80 PLUS rating. Not only does it give rating of efficiency, but manufacturers of cheapy PSU's won't send theirs in for testing, which also means you get a level of quality control from it. THAT means not only saving how much electricity you use (a 400W power supply that's 80% efficient gives 320W to the computer to use, vs a 500W that's 50% efficient only gives 250W), but the power that you get will be cleaner. You'll have less spikes and drops in power, and the net result is a more stable computer. This may be the one part you most need to replace as soon as you get a new computer, unless the company that you get it from gives you 80 PLUS options.

 

While I understand the sentiment of "I don't need a high-powered gaming rig", it shouldn't be a challenge to build something for about £300 that will let you play everything you want comfortably. Windows seems to be about an extra £75, so that still leaves you an extra £25 to play with to upgrade items - like a good CPU cooler. You can probably even walk into a local computer store and ask them to build you one with your specs and that extra 25 might be the charge for building it and testing it for you - and I'd prefer this option myself.

 

Good luck!
