Budget Build

[arjgrundy]

Hello all.

I've been asked if I can build a PC for my cousin's son..the budget is to include everything except a monitor. This is going to be a push but the budget is £300 / £350.

The PC is to be used for games such as Fortnite. I appreciate that there might be limited factors with such a small budget.

Any help would be appreciated

Is buying used or a prebuild mini pc a consideration?

A new build is unlikely to be the best option here, but anyhow, this is the best I can do (CPU cooler is in CPU box):

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x Intel Core i3-12100F 3.30GHz (Alder Lake) Socket LGA1700 Processor - Retail (SKU: CP-6AS-IN) = £73.99
• 1 x MSI PRO H610M-E DDR4 (LGA 1700) DDR4 mATX Motherboard (SKU: MOT-MSI-03383) = £59.99
• 1 x Team Group Vulcan Z T-Force 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C16 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit - Grey (SKU: MY-0AK-TG) = £29.99
• 1 x B Grade PowerColor Radeon RX 6500 XT Fighter 4GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: BG-08H-PC) = £98.99
• 1 x Team Group MP44L 500GB SSD M.2 2280 NVME PCI-E Gen4 Solid State Drive (SKU: STO-TMG-03127) = £32.98
• 1 x Aerocool Bolt Mini TG Micro-ATX case - black (SKU: CA-234-AE) = £24.95
• 1 x be quiet! SYSTEM POWER 10 550W 80 Plus Bronze Power Supply (SKU: CA-14U-BQ) = £49.99

Total: £370.88 (includes delivery: £0.00)​

A pre-owned system would be the best bet here.
Could get a Ryzen 5600 + RTX 2060 build for under £300.
