    depends on what games you're planning to play. Web browser type games or 'proper' video games. The latter will require a decent graphics card which will bump up the price.

    To get an idea of what you can get for your budget have a look at https://www.dmxdimension.com for Dell offers. Also you could have a look at what Novatech have to offer https://www.novatech.co.uk or try Ebuyer https://www.ebuyer.co.uk
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die

    £500 would give you a hell of a budget, if your not keen on building or upgrading your own equipment you can buy one off the shelf straight away

    Novatech is my choice, others go for ebuyer. They're both good sites
