Cheapest Gaming PC Build

vguzzi · 26 Nov 2015 at 10:36

Hi guys!

A friend of mine is looking to build a budget entry level gaming PC for her son. I was thinking something orientated around a 960 or 970 would be best, would be great to get a few different build variation ideas. Preferably around £500, but can stretch to £700ish if needed. Monitor etc not needed, just the tower!

Gaming is priority (mostly Minecraft), but son also does some video editing so a half decent CPU could be good, but willing to overclock!

Thanks guys!

How much else of the PC is required? Keyboard, Mouse, PSU, Windows etc.

I'd go for a unit from the OCUK range. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/titan-tanto-intel-core-i5-4690-3.9ghz-turbo-quad-core-gaming-pc-fs-095-og.html#t=g8

They want to build it for fun and for a cheaper build.
