Gaming PC Purchase HELP and ADVICE

Mgn · 12 Oct 2020 at 20:50

Sorry I don’t know if I am asking the right forum. I have no clue about gaming PCs at all, but my 10 year old son is looking for a gaming PC for his Christmas. I am not looking at spending an absolute fortune, but he wants something that is powerful enough to play things like Fortnite and Call of Duty. Can you tell me what kind of processors and graphics cards I would need to look for? Thanks

Hi and welcome,

What's your max budget, otherwise you'll get all sorts of crazy recommendations

Hi,
Thanks for getting back to me so fast. I mean ideally I would £500-£600 would be maximum. There is no way I could justify anything more at this time. I don’t think anyway?

Does that need to include the tower unit, monitor, keyboard and mouse, speakers?

No I was thinking that sort of price range for the tower unit only.

Ok thanks, that should give you a better spec'd PC :cool:

Others will be along at some point soon to chip in with some ideas.

Have you looked at anything already?
