Gamingish PC for £250

[MattBoxer]

So my friend want to build a pc but he only has £250, however he wants to add things like a GPU and SSD later so he just needs a: case, cpu, motherboard, ram, hdd,psu and windows.

 

Thanks for any replies!

Thanks for the comment, but what sort of good used stuff can you buy because used items are expensive in the UK.

for that price point you should buy used hardware since 250 pounds is not going to get you a good gaming experience if you bought everything new

Get an athlon x4 860k for 75 and an old r7 series gpu for 50 and the other parts should amount to 250.

For that much he will have to find used parts, the OS alone would be 1/3 of the price of the PC. You will have to find a PC already with an OS

Nah, it's not that bad you should be able to get a significant amount off. Granted, not as good as America's used marked but you can save yourself a pretty penny my friend.

Most that will get you is a preowned computer or some used parts

You get what you pay for, and this... is crap.
