Another computer novice jumping on this thread!

The son (9) wants a PC for Christmas. He’s asked for a gaming PC but from reading things on this thread that wouldn’t be practical given the cost. He would be looking to play Roblox and Fortnite initially and then web browsing, YouTube and school work. Budget is around £500 and for that I would be needing the full set up. Is this possible?? What would people recommend?
Cheers

if you're sure on the full setup then consider the following:

www.awd-it.co.uk

AWD-IT AMD Ryzen 3 3100 Quad Core MB320 RGB, GTX 1650 4GB, PC Monitor Package For Gaming

AWD-IT AMD Ryzen 3 3100 Quad Core MB320 RGB, GTX 1650 4GB, PC Monitor Package For Gaming
www.awd-it.co.uk www.awd-it.co.uk

the same system less the gubbins (keyboard, mouse, monitor, headset, etc is below - saving £80

www.awd-it.co.uk

AMD Ryzen 3100 QUAD Core Corsair SPEC-04 Glass, GTX 1650 4GB, PC For Gaming IF10

Fast Free UK Delivery - AMD Ryzen 3100 QUAD Core Corsair SPEC-04 Glass, GTX 1650 4GB, PC For Gaming IF10
www.awd-it.co.uk www.awd-it.co.uk

If you think hang on i dont need the gubbins or if you think you might have most of it just lying around - spare keyboard & mouse, tv for use instead of a monitor, etc then this 3rd option is very compelling

www.awd-it.co.uk

AWD Vengeance 3300X Quad Core 4.3GHz Radeon RX 570 4GB Desktop PC for Gaming

AWD Vengeance - Perfect for playing Apex Legends, Fortnite, PUBG, COD, Division 2
www.awd-it.co.uk www.awd-it.co.uk

option 3 gives you a better cpu, better motherboard, better memory, better graphics card - is it £60 better - yes i'd say it is

Spot on mate thanks for that. Have you used the site before? Note a 3 year warranty as well which seems reasonable.

no, i have'nt bought a pre-built in almost 20 years

:)

but as far as pre-builts go its either AWD or CCL to choose from at the moment - especially at the lower price bands
for ex - at CCL

there is this one

CCL Stryker Mini Gaming PC | CCL Computers

3.6GHz AMD Ryzen 3-3200G with 6GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER Graphics - 16GB RAM, 480GB SSD
www.cclonline.com www.cclonline.com

this is their equivalent of my option 2 from AWD (but cheaper) - and to be honest, i think i like it more - i think the rx570 8gb is better than the gtx 1650 4gb, but dont want to start an AMD / Nvidia bitchfest

If it's just entry level gaming like the games you mentioned go for integrated graphics imo

www.awd-it.co.uk

AWD Seven AMD Ryzen 3 3200G 4.0Ghz Quad Core PC For Gaming

This Radeon Vega 8 Quad Core gaming home PC system is ideal for a range of different games including, League of Legends & Minecraft. Prebuilt ready for use!
www.awd-it.co.uk www.awd-it.co.uk

Something like this will be good enough, I would stick 16 Gb of ram at 3200mhz in it though, will leave you around £200 to get a decent monitor, speakers, keyboard and mouse and some more storage.
