Can you even get prebuilt gaming boxes that actually can game for 500 folded pictures of her Maj?
The real skill in the above build was managing to avoid the addition of the Kolink.>snip<
You will need a copy of windows as well, 500 is going to make it tight to do and it wont be a great gaming machine as i think the cheapest on overclockers AMD section is a 2200g based item for 440 ish ..
If you want someone else to build it then its going to cost a lot more.

OCUK, would cover the build for £50 (custom service) and add a 3 year return to base warranty - as long as all components bought through them.>snip<
Well i just went to overclockers shop and looked for there cheepest prebuilt, which is in the mid 400s iirc.
Yes your second spec is a decent gaming box but who is going to build it? for 50 quid?
I wouldnt, i wouldnt want the owner coming back to me all the time with niggles (which we all know crop up) for 50 notes, what if something is broken down the line.. who diagnoses and fixes it? i presume Overclockers have a warranty on all there boxes and would deal with that as per the norm. Do overclockers offer a "build" option, would have thought that would make there prebuilts redundant.
Then you have to sell the games if you want to get close to 500, yes you can do this.. if you can find a buyer and can be bothered. Its a cracking AMD that but i wonder how long they will last.
And speaking of lasting, would a cheep (or dodgy) windows key continue to work? - we have seen MS kill abused keys before so i would prob want a full retail copy i could transfer down the line.. lets face it windows is prob the most important part of a pc next to the cpu. Iam lucky enough to get access to legit windows software as part of my job and where i work (university IT) for a big discount but not everyone can get that.

With a 2400g and a 250gb WDblue ssd is under 500, i think.
Not when compared to @Danny75's build - for virtually the same money. Danny's build would obliterate that system for similar money and with only a bit more effort on your part. The SSD could be subbed out for a 1TB conventional drive - if you needed the storage and an SSD added later...I’ve heard and quote that a ‘stormforce onyx Ryzen 5 2400G 8GB 1TB Radeon RX’ is a good choice here are the specs sent to me by a friend;
So what exactly would I need to do for free windows. I’m still completely new to this.
