Gaming pc

Spendless

We got my then 12yo son a gaming PC less than 12 months ago. It was a re-furbished one from ebay that we bought with a warranty. It was bought shortly after Christmas as our house PC 'died' shortly after Christmas day.:mad: so it was for both me to use and son to game on. He also plays mainly Minecraft and games from Steam. The PC has been fine, our issue has been that son isn't able to take it round to his mates to play at their house with them. With the benefit of hindsight I wish we'd got a laptop instead.

Graphics card is poor and when it comes to gaming that's where your biggest investment needs to be.

You said a budget of £600 - £650 earlier so...

You could take this base system http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-344-OE&groupid=43&catid=2475&subcat=2485

Put the RAM up to 8Gb, add an operating system, change the Primary HDD to 1tb and then change the graphics card to a GTX 660 and you come to £562.02 with a 24 month warranty. You will still need a monitor, keyboard, mouse and either some speakers or a headset for sound though. Cost of the monitor largely depends on its size, or you could output to a television to save on space if it is feasible.

And Overclockers staff are pretty good if you want to get them on the phone and ask them for advice, or perhaps ask on their forums for recommendations and get Overclockers to build you a completely bespoke system.

I agree with above link... will do you good and just build up from this when needed..... This is where your son can learn to start building and solving problem... i started off on a cheap PC for gaming now after 10 years it a beast with everypart replace and tower taller than my desk lol
