Computer spec 450 GBP no graphics

Hi there,

Been out of the game for a little while so was wondering if anyone might be albe to quote me for a computer to play at medium resolution (20 inch monitor?) for my son. I have a graphics card to add to it. No keyboard, no monoitor, mouse or headphones required. I'm OK building it if the parts are compatible! Would like to pay 450 -500 GBP. Must include windows 10. GPU = radeon 4850.

thanks

Peter

Any ideas anyone?

See my spec in Sig...manages to play things at Medium settings no problem. Should easily get in your budget also.

Alternatively you could go the i5 route with a view to upgrade the gfx card later down the line?

Slightly over budget, but includes a graphics card, as the 4850 while a good card in it's day, is not really a viable option for newer games (the last driver for it was in 2013!)

1 x Mars Gaming MC0 Micro-ATX Gaming Case - Black= £17.99
1 x EVGA 500W 80 Plus Power Supply (100-W1-0500-KR)= £36.95

1 x Microsoft Windows 10 64-Bit DVD - OEM (MS-KW9-00139)= £79.99
1 x Intel Core i3-4170 3.70GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail= £85.99
1 x Powercolor Radeon R7 360 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (AXR7 360 2GBD5-DHE/OC)= £89.99

Will a full length graphics card ?290mm? fit into a micro-ATX case?

That Graphics card will fit as it is only 207mm long.

Be worth waiting and seeing what others suggest, as think there will be some other alternatives worth looking at (e.g. maybe an AMD APU build etc)
