1st Gaming PC - Ideas for £600 budget

[dt99]

Hi,

My son is looking for his 1st gaming PC, ideally wants to run the latest games, GTAV etc, but I know for his budget of £600 this will not be at highest graphics.

Looking for ideas, budget of £500-£600, not including monitor, keyboard, mouse, but I will need an OS.

Idea of what to buy please, plus cost of building this as I have never attempted a build before, is it really hard to do?

I have looked on YouTube etc and seen loads of videos and I think I should be able to build it, I have a friend who built his own, so if I get stuck I could always get him to help. So, I think I would be looking at around £500-£600 budget for a build, any recommendations would be helpful.

Thanks, that's a great help.

Would that build be able to cope with the latest games, GTAV, COD etc, as these are the types of things that he plays. If not, could you suggest what changes I would need to make, while trying to keep the cost increase as minimal as possible.

Thanks for your time.
