PC

Looking for a decent PC for around £500. Is the below any good?


Hi guys I don't know much about PCs I've used the same one for the past 10 years & now looking to get a new one. I'd like to play games on it every so often, nothing crazy but I'd like decent graphics & smooth gameplay. Is the above PC any good for £569? Or has anyone got any better recommendations? I'd mainly use it on older games like skyrim & GTA but would like to mod them out.

    Hello JunkyJonny, and thank you for your submission to Gaming PC! If you are new please check out our rules over at the wiki [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/gamingpc/wiki/rules)!
    We have recently added the useful feature of Title Flair! You can set this manually by clicking Flair under your post once you have submitted your post, but if you missed it in the rules there is a much better way that will automatically flair your post!

    To do this simply add what your post is about in brackets before your title. For example for a Build Log you can type [Build Log] before your post so that it looks like this; [Build Log]My new awesome build!, and the bot will automatically set your flair to Build Log! This works for Build Log, Build Showcase, News, Hardware News, Hardware Release, Discussion, and Miscellaneous!

    Also remember that this is a place for discussing and sharing our love of Gaming Computers! This is NOT the place for help building or determining what parts you should buy, that is better suited for /r/buildapc. Troubleshooting questions should be directed to /r/techsupport. Thank you again!

    No this would have been a £350 build 5 years ago.
    a steam deck would actually perform better than this build.

    For around the the same price you could build this yourself: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/KLKBCd

    Or shop around in the used market?

    Do not get that pc unless you want to play Minecraft and valo which you definitely don’t

    That igpu is straight up crap , might even struggle with Minecraft and valo at medium settings

    The parts used would be crap

    Get a used ps5 for like 300£ and a 1440p monitor for 180£ that’d perform far better

    If you want a complete pc setup with monitor and stuff included then save up like 800 something

    No.
    The ryzen 3 3200g is a cpu with intergrated graphics- the pc does not come with discrete graphics. That cpu is good for playing Shellshockers and older versions of Minecraft at most. For just a bit more u can build a rig with an i3 12100f and an rx 6600, which delivers significantly more performance than this- many times in fact
    Also forget about RGB if u are on a budget

    I have a mobo bundle that has a cpu, ram and motherboard for like $200, you could get that and then buy a nice gpu, case, psu, and storage. should be a good $800 build for u then . Pm if you are interested 🙏🙏
