My mates lad wants a gaming PC for Christmas. He's only 12 so my mate is loathe to spend too much. What do you think the minimum spend should be to get him a machine that will actually run any of the current crop of games?
Thanks

hmm id stay clear of that seller he wants £614 for the i7 verstion, that CPU is 2011 so 7 years old, alsoOur gaming PCs are made USING BRAND NEW COMPONENTS EXCLUDING THE MOTHERBOARD AND CPU
take a look at https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/ they do pcs you can customise, or any of the many pc build companys, but your looking more 700 for a gaming PC new
Is he tech savvy enough to build his own? Well worth a look on PCPartpicker if he is - https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/
I'd be tempted to build one with a Ryzen 2200G or 2400G, they've both got a basic inbuilt GPU that will play modern games at reduced detail, and if it gets used enough, add a second hand GTX980 or similar for another hundred quid or so at a later date.
He isn't but I could do it for him. I'll have a look.Quote:
