Looking for the cheapest possible build to run the following.
What is your budget and currency? Roughly £300-£500 (pounds) What will you use the PC for? Playing high cpu intense games and programs that use the coins lot Do you need a monitor? If not, what monitor(s) will you be using? Maybe currently got a Samsung 24" 144hz one atm so it's not a mega issue Do you need a keyboard, mouse, or other peripherals? Need a new Kbam but you're allow to go over the budget on them 2 but not stupidly Do you need an operating system? Preferably Will you overclock? No |

PCPartPicker Part List
CPU: Intel Core i3-10100F 3.6 GHz Quad-Core Processor (£78.98 @ Aria PC) Motherboard: Gigabyte B460M DS3H Micro ATX LGA1200 Motherboard (£79.98 @ CCL Computers) Memory: Patriot Viper Steel 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory (£60.32 @ CCL Computers) Storage: Crucial BX500 480 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (£43.33 @ Currys PC World Business) Case: Thermaltake Versa H17 MicroATX Mini Tower Case (£32.43 @ Ebuyer) Power Supply: be quiet! System Power 9 400 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply (£42.94 @ Box Limited) Total: £337.98 Honestly, with Ryzen pricing and availability being so poor right now, Intel weirdly kind of makes sense. I'd rather an R3 3100 than an i3-10100F, but you can actually buy the i3 right now and 80 quid isn't unreasonable for it tbh. Can spend an extra £5-10 for a 500W PSU if you want; uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/3G97Y...ssr-550gb3 Or this SSD is worth the extra £10ish if you can manage it; uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/G9XYc...t500p2ssd8 Can spend a bit more on case if you want, I've just included an alright budget case. As for GPU, usually £150-160ish would get you a GTX 1650 Super, but stock and pricing is horrendous on all new GPU's right now. Honestly, if you're comfortable buying used, I'd just look for an RX 480/580, should be plenty of them available and they shouldn't be too unreasonably priced. I'd pay up to 100 quid for a 4GB RX 580, maybe £120 for an 8GB variant. |
