1080p on a buget

[Spankme]

Hey guys, i have been given a buget of £700 for a gaming pc whuch includes everything. tower, monitor, keyboard, mouse and desk.

i know the ryzen route very well and can do a 2200g with a 1060 for around £580. (without the monitor oc)

i was wondering if someone could spec me an intel build for that price or less please?

The i3 will beat ryzen 2200g at 1080p down to clock speed along with IPC

Though the asking price for a £100 chip...ouch , the difference could have landed a 75hz 24" Freesync monitor​

This would save about £30 when paired with the rest of the above. Slightly less single core performance but better multi core.

Combined with the fact you've got StoreMI to link the 120GB SSD and 1TB to turn into a large Hybrid drive

Better than the intel suggested and for the desk, screen etc your better off using the remaining cash for used parts.
