Hey guys,I'm just wondering if it's possible to buy a gaming PC for £400 or less?

Obviously i'll have to run it on low or something but i'm wondering if i'll get a smooth experience at low graphic settings?

I was thinking maybe a AMD APU,But i'm not sure.

If so could you let me know please and what parts to get? I'm very curious about getting a spare pc if god forbid this one ever fails.

Many thanks guys really appreciate the info

Easily it runs on my laptop with built in intel graphics, although it's been a very long time since I've looked at hardware so I'll leave someone else to actually come up with a spec.

Over budget but I managed to put in a 128GB SSD so it will make the computer a lot more faster with boot times and loading game levels etc If you want to keep it under budget just remove the SSD

If you like the above spec you might want to take a look at this one, it will be more powerful and costs slightly less. Most of the components are the same, but the RAM runs at 2400Mhz instead of 1600. This makes a massive difference on APU's as the RAM acts as your graphics memory. You can be talking 10% FPS boosts in some games. It also has a 1TB storage drive instead of the 500GB one. I've saved the bulk of the money to do this by going for a cheaper PSU and case. They are still both good quality units and 300W is more than enough to power this setup (its unlikely to need more than 200).
