New PC £600 budget

[Sabmerk]

Hey all,

I've been looking to move away from my toaster of a laptop and get a decent desktop PC.

My budget is around £600 but anything less would be a lot better.

Does anyone know what parts, etc i would need?

thanks

P.S. Please refrain from using complicated terms, i will have not a clue what you're on about as I've been a console gamer for a while now. Thanks again

Would you like a prebuilt machine or would you be looking to build yourself?

Is this primarily for gaming?

Could drop the SSD to get it under 600. Would also need windows if you dont already have it.

Add £80 if you need windows installed.

Both of these are examples but can be fiddled with a bit to keep within budget/taste.

It's best to tell us what you have/haven't got. Do you want a monitor, operating system, keyboard and mouse?

You'll struggle to stay within budget if you need all of the above.

i can probably get a keyboard, mouse and monitor for dirt cheap i'm not really looking for anything massive in those departments at the moment. it's just the PC im after for now
