Gaming PC

Faintlol

Hi all,

Looking some advice on a potential gaming pc.

I have around £600 to spend and wondering what the best site is to buy a decent gaming machine? No interest in building one from scratch myself. Thanks!

Sorry you will never get anything near useful for £600 unless you are prepared to build it yourself. Maybe if you are prepared to upgrade it later as at that price-point it will need it.


But hey, you ever used LEGO? Building a PC is as easy these days. Well for the last ten years at least.

So what would I be looking at if I bought my own components?

I'd recommend looking at Zoostorm as they offer decent systems for a low price and you can most certainly get something decent for your budget. If your budget is for just the PC I'd have a look at this:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Stormforce-i5-6400-Quad-Core-Gaming-PC-16GB-1TB-1206GB-GTX-1070-Win-10-WiFi/263771479912?hash=item3d6a015f68:g:TcsAAOSwSlBYrw1v

It has a quad core Intel processor, a GTX 1070 graphics card (very good gaming card) and it has an SSD boot drive for speed and a hard drive for storage. The case is a bit garish but with a desktop the advantage is they use standard parts so easy to change or upgrade in the future.

If you want a monitor as well, then something like this should do:

There's no SSD and the GPU is not as powerful but it's still a decent system for the price and well capable of gaming.

What games and and what resolution will you be playing at ? For 1080p that gf card is overkill and the cpu looks "underpowered" for the rest of those system specs and will probably cause bottlenecks.

I couldn't see any mention of the psi and motherboard type in the description, so the ability to upgrade may be hampered.

For £600 tho. You did notice it's refurbished tho ?

I must say that you can build a gaming PC with this budget but it will not be a top performing gaming PC. https://pcgamehaven.com/best-800-dollar-gaming-pc-build/
But I am 100% sure that it will work good. If you want to cut your budget on monitor you may take a look on these cheap monitors as well

Try to buy some details from the internet

Try getting some ryzen CPU which does not require a graphics card and you will be good to go.
