with any budget of under $600ish i would look at used parts because they can be amazing value and £400 is a bit small for anything powerfull but if its just for light gaming at 1080p you might be able to make something

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

that CPU certainly is NOT VR reddy by any means, it has problems with just playing recent tittles at 1080p... i had one btw it was the worst thing ever. it has lots of cores sure but the IPS is shit and with nothing but the standard cooler it will run hot as a furnace.

Hi All

 

I have a co-worker who is interested in getting back into PC gaming but is working on a tight budget (upto £400) he does not require a monitor, OS or peripherals.

 

Can you recommend some builds for me to show him?

 

Thanks in advance :)

Sorry but £400 seems to little for gaming. He needs at least £500-600 for a decent gaming PC.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X | CPU Cooler: Stock AMD Cooler | Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING (WI-FI) | RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB (4x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 CL16 | GPU: Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB Zotac Mini | Case: K280 Case | PSU: Cooler Master B600 Power supply | SSD: 1TB  | HDDs: 1x 250GB & 1x 1TB WD Blue | Monitor: 24" Acer S240HLBID | OS: Win 11 Pro.

 

Home Lab:  Lenovo ThinkCenter M82 Hyper-V Server 2022 | Dell OptiPlex 9020 Hyper-V Server 2022 | TP-LINK TL-SG108E | Cisco Catalyst C2960CG 8 Port Switch | HP MicroServer G8 SCCM Server | 2x Dell PowerEdge R630 Hyper-V Server 2022

Title says UK
Posts says £400

Next two posts are in dollars...

The OcUK Kinetic H3 + Intel i3-6100 is a system that will do for £400, but it is low end and the GPU currently isn't in stock

£600 will make the build a massive load better, same Kinetic H3 but with an i5 + GTX 1060 (Zotac)

Motherboard is £10 more than PCPP
RAM is £10 more than PCPP
Get an EVGA 430W for £37 and with the pricing errors make it to the same £440 price

Ofc this doens't include P&P so add another £10 to that.

 

EDIT: This exact same build from OCUK prebuilt is £4 more
