I'm after exactly the same, 10 year old lad , probably main use will be fortnight, I only want to pay 600 quidMy youngest has decided he wants a gaming computer for Christmas.
Looking at a tower system, not a laptop
What sort of specification should I be looking for?
Any recommendations?
Thanks
I've asked a mate and he sent me these two Acer GX-781 Core i5-7400 8GB 1TB GeForce GTX 1050 2GB Windows 10 Gaming PC - Laptops DirectThat's about my budget as well. Tried looking on line, but I wouldn't know a good one from a bad one.
Got them, I'd prefer him on a pc anyway tbfJust get them a console man, gaming rig will be wasted on a bairn

Gonna have a dodge over falcon first, I heard an advert about a sale on gaming pcs on the radio
Its not a bad time to buy one with the black fri and cyber monday sales.
I would always say build one your self then you know what parts are going into it. There are countless videos on youtube showing you how to do it. TBH I have built loads and still refer back to them now.
If you scrimp you will get a system that wont perform very well and wont have a very long shelf life, and probably wont leave you with a patch to upgrade in future. Much better off investing a bit more in a system that will be future proof.
But then again you have to look at what you will actually be using it for and if its worth spending the money on it.
You might get away with a system that can run fortnite or minecraft now ok but in 12 months they may be wanting to play something else the system cant handle it.
From personal experience I would be very warey off falcon, I find them to be very expensive. And looking at their budget gaming rigs they use some quite poor parts. Most of them have CIT power supplies and they are pretty gash tbh. A power supply is not a part I would scrimp on.
I wouldnt buy one with windows pre installed that will probably add about £100, you can buy a key off ebay for less than a fiver. Then download the install tool from the windows website and cretea a usb install.
You can get some decent monitors from the amazon warehouse. When I built my original pc I got a nice monitor for £80. It cost £150 new and mine was brand new, still had the plastic on the screen.
Just had a look on Falcon Computers with it being local and fuck me what a load of overpriced shite Was surprised how expensive some of the rigs are with it not being a massive company, I'd avoid them whoever mentioned going there earlier
They have one for sale for £650 with a CIT power supply and a 2gb 1050
