Budget gaming PC spec advice please!

[Mightyashy]

Hi there,

Could I get some help on a spec please. Budget is £700 and they want to get a 27” monitor, mouse/keyboard as well in there. What would you advise as I can’t get much decent at that price, do you think it’s worth telling them to wait until they can stretch a bit further?

Thanks

For sure. The build is going to be a basic 1080p build, at best. Another £300 would make a big difference.

doable with use of b-grade items.
if can stretch to £750 then the first upgrade would be to get a cheap cooler (eg thermalright assassin x for £18)

Suggested they wait until they can stretch their budget. He wants to play Gamepass stuff on it and already has an XSX.
