Hello there, my friend wants to build a gaming pc but only has £300 to spend. I am not to sure if he could get a decent one with that so i need y'all help to list parts for him please.

He play games like league of legends, minecraft and wants to play elder scrolls unlimited too.

He also wants to build it from scratch, he has no old parts he can reuse, but he does have monitor, keyboard etc so no peripherals.

 

- Thanks PlusnPlay

Get a XFX TS Bronze instead of the EVGA 430W. It's a much better platform.

We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones)

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here
