I'm a bit out of touch with the 2nd hand market, and my brother has scraped together about £300 to stick together something for his young lad to play fortnite and that kind of rubbish on. We've got a 1080p monitor plus my old gtx970, but the rest is all gotta fit into that budget. So new is out of the equation.
In an ideal world, we'd get him something cheap and low spec, but on a socket that has some decent upgrade options. Like an old AM4 mobo and cpu that he could eventually drop in some more RAM and an old 2700 as he saves up pocket money etc. I don't know if that's feasible in the current market.
So if anyone has an idea of what is best bang for buck, given that it is accepted it isn't going to be amazing, I'd be super grateful. Otherwise we're off to Facebook marketplace to scrounge some old rubbish prebuilt and then have to face all the proprietary Dell PSU stuff if he ever wants to upgrade.
