What is the budget and what components can you reuse?

 

[TheGuy1]

Well I am quite new to building PC's and this is my first, so I will cap it around £100 - £120. I don't expect it to be perfect, just one that works.

£120? Really?

£100 - £120, really?! You mean £1000 - £1200, if it wasn't a mistake get a PSP or a Nintendo 3DS

lol, this^^. You really need to do some research if £120 is the max budget. I hope you really meant £1000 - £1200

That is way to low of a budget. I would not even sell my old Core 2 system for that much.

For that budget? Maybe a TI-82. Or a couple of paperclips attached to a potato.

Thats the best I could do, no graphics card but the 500w psu gives the option of upgrading

^The internet doesn't quite work like that, i'm afraid.

I know I realized just after :L

I love how you actually tried to build one Seumas...

Only thing I can think of is a second hand one on ebay

 

[seumasbeathan]

If you do go for ebay be careful, You will get a lot of people selling old P4 machines for like £150 claiming they are 'High end gaming machines'

£120?
I'm sorry mate, but you're going to need AT LEAST £400 for a budget gaming PC.
You could buy an AMD APU build with that money. But nothing underneath £400.

Nice rig for 300GBP imho...

for only £120 this is the best I could do.
I guess you could re use your hdd from your current PC.

Don't blame me when your PC blows up because of the crappy PSU. But it isn't likely going to be stressed with this rig.
GPU is intergrated in the CPU.

I don't think the OP is going to reply

Lol, that budget could buy you just a graphics card. But mate seriously i know you can get more money than that but i would consider getting a second hand pc and upgrading it or something along those lines. Not something i would usually advise but in this case go for it.
