Asking if anyone knows of a decent pc for under £300 that can run minecraft at a decent FPS rate and if this one is good and what upgrades to put on it. https://microdream.co.uk/gaming-pc-dell-tower-core-2-duo-geforce-1gb-hdmi-dvi-windows-10-computer.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIrMmZ7Nzf1wIV77ftCh3n5ARrEAQYCCABEgLnpvD_BwE#.WhyHQ6anyhA

 You should really consider building one yourself

I would not trust this site

• "Memory upgrade (Improve the speed of your PC)" - it doesn't.
• "Monitor (Option)" - I mean I think they meant to put optional.
• "GeForce 1GB " - that's a brand, not an actual card.
• "add Power Lead" - if you don't check this you don't get a power lead it seems.

The list goes on

Please do not buy the first one you linked. That is an absurdly stupid price for a system that won't run anything very well (as far as gaming goes). Those computers can be had for free these days because they're 7-9 years old (I know because I have several).

I also wouldn't get that system either. It's got an A4 with no dedicated GPU. It won't do you too well. Can you stretch your budget at all? If so, you can get a system that's a whole lot better. 

[JasperH2003]

No I can’t rly stretch it 

[JasperH2003]

And I’m new to pc’s so I’m not sure what to get and everything

[AdoptedAsian]

Even something like this would perform better than the PC's you linked: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/JjF7f8 (I'm not great at low budget builds so this probably isn't the best for under £300 but it's definitely better than what you linked)

 

[JasperH2003]

nvm saw it

Do you already have any parts you can reuse (PSU, HDD, etc.)?

[NelizMastr]

Might as well go for something like this:

everything you’ll need. Minecraft runs on potato graphics. So even the onboard graphics in the i5 will do.

I don’t think that matters much if you have this little to spend. If you don’t use texture packs, it should run fine.

Even 250 is a lot for that old of a system. I recently got one of those for free.

That's great, but i5 sandy bridge systems go for upwards of €150 and pounds still here in Europe, so with a monitor and peripherals included, it's not a bad starter kit. 

 

The problem with a 300 quid budget is that you can't build something that's faster. Certainly not new.

It's an okay base system. That GPU is way overpriced, though. The GT1030 is faster and cheaper.

 

Here is what I'd get if I were you, ask your parents for an extra tenner and you'll have a great starting point. Faster CPU, upgrade for RAM in the future, less shit hard disk.
