    Mini ITX / SFF build. Opinions please

    Thanks, yes I think that's possibly the cheapest set-up I can get, GPUs seem to be expensive in general at the moment, and stock hard to come by. This is why I was thinking of the Hades instead.

    Mini ITX / SFF build. Opinions please

    I should mention the PC is for general use and a bit of gaming - nothing overly involved, me and the kids play Minecraft Cities Skylines Football Manager Fortnite Plus random indie games off Steam... Cheers

    AsRock A300 Deskmini

    Thanks. I couldn’t get the 3200g, so I went with a second hand 2200g for £40. RAM I wasn’t sure of, never used laptop ram before, so bought some 2666 crucial using their compatibility checker. All in all it’s cost £220. When stock levels return and prices settle I may upgrade to the 3200g.

    AsRock A300 Deskmini

    Only just discovered this thread, posted in GD... I'm thinking of a v light gaming build for my 8 year old, rest would be you tube and school work. Was looking at the A300 + a 3200g, with m.2 wi-fi and RAM coming in at around £250ish (I have SSDs kicking around). 1. Will it work with the...

    ASRock DeskMini A300 - Thoughts

    Morning all - I'm looking at a cheap, small light gaming build for my 8 year old. Don't have loads of money to throw at it but was thinking about buying one of the above barebones, and adding a Ryzen APU in. Anyone any experience / advice / alternative. My budget is as close to £200 as...

    Dell Optiplex 790 - Reuse..

    Afternoon all My 8 year old wants a PC (very light gaming and mostly youtube / school work) and I picked up an old Dell Optiplex 790 a while ago. I'm not really interested in using any of the parts, just wondered if I could re-use the case and what would fit into it - I assume someone has...

    Used GPU - Price advice

    Evening I'm trying to build a semi decent gaming PC on a modest budget, It'll be Mini ITX as I have a case kicking round, but want to try and squeeze as much as I can out of my circa £400 budget. Was looking at pre-owned MSI RX 580's and wondered what a sensible price to pay would be as they...

    Thoughts on my build...Please...

    Cheers, don't think I can go for that Motherboard as my case (which I forgot to mention) is ITX. Its the Sharkoon C10 mini.

    Ryzen 5 3400g - Worth it?

    Thought so :)

    Ryzen 5 3400g - Worth it?

    Wait, isn't the 2400g the older version and the 3400g superseded it? Now I am confused :D

    Ryzen 5 3400g - Worth it?

    This is also true, I won't rush into it if the 2400g performs fine, there's just no need.

    Ryzen 5 3400g - Worth it?

    Fair enough, the 2400g is like £10 more so no worries

    Ryzen 5 3400g - Worth it?

    Yeah, on that budget I just don't see how I can better it (other than second hand). I can see how the graphics perform and add a card later if needed, and I know the CPU performance isn't as good as I could get for the same money, but seems if I needed to next year I could upgrade to the 3600 if...

    Ryzen 5 3400g - Worth it?

    Yeah this is the perpetual debate in my head, I suppose if I went 3400g as a start I could add a card later. Tough decision, I'm not always 100% comfortable buying second hand, hard to know who to buy from.
