New build ~ £300-400

[sonna]

Hi,

My son is wanting to build a PC.

1080p gaming. Fortnite/Roblox etc… Typical kid stuff.
Someone has already got him a GTX 1650 (unsure what brand), and will be getting a monitor.

Can someone spec a build please for between £300-400.

I’m not expecting anything wonderful, and I’ve tried to set his expectations (I’ve even tried to put him off and stick with the Xbox, but he has his heart set on a PC).

Many thanks in advance.

Crazy value compared to what one could get a couple of years ago! Nice build.

This is also an option if you/he wishes to go the AMD route (other components the same):

• 1 x https://www.overclockers.co.uk/amd-...hz-socket-am4-processor-retail-cp-3d3-am.html = £99.95
• 1 x https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asus...am4-b550-micro-atx-motherboard-mb-6j1-as.html = £130
