Budget Gaming & Everyday Use PC

[Valo]

I’ve been asked by a friend to help them buy a new family PC. I’ve lost touch with PC specs since switching to a Mac.

They are looking for a prebuilt good all rounder. They got kids (one early teens the other around 8-9) So something that could be used for games (fortnite etc) as well as general web/office/school work.

They will need everything Keyboard, Mouse and Monitor as well.

Budget £1000 (at a push £1100)

Any help would be great!

+ (elsewhere)

LG 24MP59G 75Hz IPS monitor - £110
HyperX Cloud Stinger headset - £45

The £70 leftover in the £1100 budget could go towards better monitor or headset, perhaps. I was aiming for the £1000 budget though.

That’s perfect! Thanks very much for that.
