Hi, my fiancée decided she wants to try gaming on a pc now from xbox.
I want to build her a budget gaming pc I thought with the new ryzen 3 3200g/5 3400g? and use the vega graphics incase she decides she doesn't like it and if she does i can get her a graphics card

I think she is more intrested in it having lots of flashing lights than how it's runs.
So clear side so you can see in and maybe some extra led strip lighting that u can change colour of

She will also need a monitor
I have a spare 1tb sata so maybe just a ssd for the OS and few games

Was hoping to only spend £400/500 as she might not like it

Thanks

Grant

would she like to keep the small form factor to match consoles or doesn't mind desktop sizing ?

push 2400g - the 3400g recent release isn't based off the new ryzen design unfortunately .

Would just plug the PC into the TV next to the xbox haha - though you'd need wireless keyboard etc

might even find going Dell optimax for £250 refurb i5 with OS and adding a £100 GPU RX 570 and monitor would get best gaming results.

nothing WORSE then playing on PC and it LOOKING and FEELING WORSE then a console
 
Will the Vega graphics be good enough to run a few games like csgo and cod or should I spend extra now to get a graphics card would it change the specs a lot if I could spend £700?

Anything can run CS:GO !
Vega 56 is nice price but with Navi is should be cheaper , least £200 with Vega 64 being £250 .
Rx580 should do the trick of rx570 for £109 .
Upgrade to ryzen 2600/3600 and your good to go !
