Hello guys, i am new to the idea of gaming pc's and a noob at IT and i would like to enter the world of gaming by buying a really good entry level pc on black friday. My budget is extremely tight which is around £150-£250( but the lower the better since that is an estimate of what i will have on black friday), please help me and give me advice on how i can get the best pc as possible around that price range on black friday plz( and i dont mind if i have to build it or get a prebuilt one, but preferably prebuild if possible since im a noob xD).

He wants to know if you need a keyboard and mouse, or a monitor. You're probably best off using your TV (assuming you have an HDTV) as a monitor to start with considering your budget.

As for competitor links, this forum is owned and managed by the https://www.overclockers.co.uk shop, as such you're not allowed to post links to any sort of competition.

oh ok, so i am only allowed to post links from the overclocker shop only? and i do also have an HDTV and yes i would also want a keyboard and mouse( but do not need it if it doesnt fit the budget)

Power supply?

Don't just settle on the first one you find.

You need to be looking for something like the following:
  • Intel 2700k/3570k/3770k (even non-K models will be fine)
  • Intel 4xxx series
  • AMD 2600
  • Minimum RAM 8gb
  • Motherboard doens't matter at this point
  • GPU will depend on the make/model but you can always replace it - post it anyway
power supply is the most important part

awwww, ok ill start searching and let you know as soon as possible

oh and by the way, I found a second-hand pc which costs 160 pounds and I will tell you the specs for it:

- Nvidia GTX 750Ti 2Gb

- Windows 10 Pro
-250gb SSD
-1Tb storage
-20GB RAM
-Intel Core I5-3470 3.70ghz
-21” Monitor
-Keyboard+ Mouse

the seller also said he will provide a power supply

are these specs good and could you possibly tell me the benchmark for some games for these specs?
