not gonna tell you how to live your life, but it's not worth getting into debt just for a computer.
besides if you already have an xbox, you're not short on entertainment.

Fair point. Just all the games i like watching are on pc. Cant get them for xbox. Will just save up and pay cash at some point

Save up, some can be more CPU intensive

Always good to save up as I found out the hard way but that’s what happens and you get a lot of good advice on here

I've been looking at something like this as a basic build that can be added to later. You'd need to add a graphics card and hard drive to this though

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Gigabyte GA-AB350-Gaming 3 AMD B350 (Socket AM4) DDR4 ATX Motherboard= £86.99
1 x Super Flower Platinum King 550W 80 Plus Platinum Power Supply - Black= £74.99
1 x Team Group Dark T-Force 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C16 3000MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black/Grey (TDGED48= £89.99
1 x Phanteks Eclipse P300 Glass Midi Tower Case - Black= £54.95
1 x AMD Ryzen 5 Six Core 1600 3.60GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail= £139.99

Total: £460.11 (includes shipping: £13.20)

I'd be looking to save my pennies till black friday or the next big release rolls around. Keep an eye out in the clearance section here as there are often some bargains to be had and just see how you go!
