tbh, it might not be a great PC, but it'll be sort of crap in 2-3 years time, and perfect for your kid to experiment with.

Tell Carter he can have £400 for having such a shit name
Oh, it'll take a PCv3 NVME SSD as well, which would probably be the best upgrade you could get - About £50 for half a TB as the boot disk and a fair few games. Pushes straight into the slot and one screw to hold it down. Easy as pie.

fine for a 1080p / 900p low/medium e-sports type machine with the following caveats
ryzen 2200g is old now
ram is slow - ryzen loves fast ram (3000mhz or higher if your board supports it)
gpu - it is what it is in this day and age
mobo - lowest rank of board for ryzen
no ssd?
personally i think its overpriced by at least £50, and probably closer to £100

I built one based around the 5600G with 3200mHz memory for £585. Want me to grab the full spec?
For £85 what we got was much higher spec than what you just listed.

Thanks but I wouldn't know where to start putting it together

It's really easy, most of it just slots together then a couple of screws and it's done.

This is £100 cheaper, and might be better

It keeps coming up all the time in my sponsored ads since its close to me and I've searched loads of computer stuff lately, so I pinged him to see what he had for under £500, and he's come back with this. I think this is worth thinking about
- i3 10100F 4 Core / 8 Threads 3.6GHz - 4.3GHz Turbo (new)
- 16GB DDR4 3000MHz Corsair Vengeance (running at 2666MHz) (new)
- H410M Motherboard
- ASUS GTX 1060 6GB GPU
- Kioxia 500GB NVMe SSD (new)
- EVGA 600W 80+ PSU (new)
- Gamemax Stealth RGB TG Case (new)
- Windows 10 Pro
That CPU is a fair bit better than the Ryzen, as is the GPU, and it has a NVME SSD
Any questions --> KrystiansComputers

Thanks for doing some more digging, I bought the one earlier, got a decent bit knocked off and a monitor thrown in as well.This is £100 cheaper, and might be better

the one above is on his website as sold out - and £550
(and its a shocking deal at £550)
if i'm being brutally honest - his 10100F is at least £100 over, his 6500 is £100 over, his 4590 about £75 over
conversely - his three cheapo deals are'nt priced badly at all

Yeah, I thought that 6th gen one was overpriced too. I thought that £500 one was canny though. Moot now, as the first one has already been bought.

most of these facebook sellers are a disgrace, adding a few RGB fans to a reconditioned ex office machine and selling them on as "ultra fast" gaming computers.if your after parts or a new machine keep an eye out on here

Sometimes it’s just easier.
lol, was just having one of those days
upgrading my lasses (no) pc - it had ran perfectly on my testbench as a daily driver for a month. Stuck it in her case, posted but only detecting 1 ram stick - lots of faffing on trying to fix it for it to just decide not to post at all
2 hours of parts swapping later till i thought feck it and got the mobo that was due to be a mates upgrade
(he'll just have to wait)

This is why I was forced to buy my entire setup from one place - I don't have spares anymore, so I can't figure out what isn't working - I'd have had to RMA the entire order if that happened to me now.
