Looking for a build £500

[eLaD]

Looking for a build for my lil bro that will be able to run fortnite,minecraft and daily use such as work and videos.

Looking to spend £500 but could push to around £600 that would last a good couple of years before a upgrade.

Monitor and peripherals not required as he already has them.

Thanks for the help chaps.

An I3 with maybe a 1050 is probably fine for Minecraft. Then for everything else, whatever you can afford.

It's worth looking at used CPUs and motherboards as well. You can find older i5s + motherboard for under £100 and they are still fine for gaming.

Ryzen 2200G build maybe a good option as the games you've mentioned are not very demanding

He could add a second drive later on. Needs Windows 10, which can be used for free to begin with. Maybe you have a key for him or can find one cheap.
