I've given up trying to sort out my current PC, all the parts are outdated and probably damaged.
Can someone suggest a build for around 350? No more than that as I'm on a strict budget, if it helps I could use my HAF 912 case to cut costs.
Thanks

Can you specify the currency you want the build in? Also it might help if you download speccy to list your current systems parts just in case theres something you could use from it. It won't list the PSU though so you'd need to tell us the make/model yourself by looking at it.

In pounds, and my PC doesn't turn on for very long, I'm using my laptop until.

You could get something like this but its pretty low end and could help if you could use some parts from your old system. Even if you open it up and read the model numbers off the parts directly.

I would imagine so yeah but it isn't going to be amazing with most things. But it'll be playable.

What i meant to say was, if you opened your existing rig and took out things like the storage and RAM you could use those and save money.

I'll take my hard drive but that's it, what CPU cooler would be good for this build?

The stock one will do at stock speeds, if you wanted to overclock then the Coolermaster Hyper 212 or Raijintek Aidos will do.

Okay, thanks, would it be better if I got an APU? Because of my budget.
