PC for a budget

sic6six · 18 Nov 2020 at 16:08

Is been a while since I've built a pc so could do with some advice on the best components to get for one I've been asked to piece together and build for my mum.

I'm basically looking for the following

Monitor
CPU
MOBO
RAM
GFX Card
Tower
(Maybe PSU)
Solid State HDD(optional)

The budget is £600‐£1000

I appreciate any assistance with this as I've been out of the loop for the past few years due to my own pc dying and not being able to afford a new one since.

What's mum doing with her pc , gaming , general browsing ?

£600 to a £1000 is a broad budget

Wi-Fi needed ?

WiFi isn't necessary no as the router is in the same room so she uses wired.

She does game on there so I'd like something decent gfx card wise

Many thanks bud. I really appreciate this. I'll have a chat and see if it's all good for her.
