as with all kids, they want everything and expect it to cost £50
So, the user is 14, wants a "gaming PC" for things like BF4 and Minecraft, he also wants the ability to record his own minecraft tutorials and YouTube 'em (don't they all these days?, i don't get it, but meh!)
The budget is just £500 and for that he would ideally like the whole package ready to go, right down to speakers and a gaming headset.....but as an ex computer builder i am trying to persuade him to grab the best bang-per-buck and add to it later.
so, as I'm well out of the loop these days (and a devout mac user now
) can you guys recommend:
Motherboard & processor
memory (no idea on speed these days, but a match for the cpu/board)
graphics card (hdmi advantageous & powerful enough to run BF4/MC?!?)
hdd (1tb)
psu (suitable power for recommended hardware)
case (cheapy will do)
gaming keyboard & moose
windoze (8, I guess)
all (heh) for around £500(and under if poss??)
Monitor is not important at this point
I have read a few other peoples requests in here for an idea of whats hot, but still left none the wiser
thanks guys
