well its happened, my youngest that their future lies in pc gaming not console peasantry :) :) :)

now as you can see i have MM access but what i dont have is my previous box of bits and pieces so everything needs to be bought in for this build (hard to believe i havent built a system in nearly 5 years eek)

i dont need monitor keyboard or mouse it will be used with his Tv and i'm sure i can find some peripherals floating around but what i do need is a 1080p (although will be used on a 4k tv) powerhouse for under £500 complete. so 1080p 60fps or 4k 30fps with much RGB goodness,

will be mainly playing gta and the like (

i'm not averse to dipping into the MM so new old amd/intel/nvidia desktop or server kit i'm not fussed just looking for some inspiration here :)

How did it go? This is very similar to the build budget I just completed for myself!


lack of pics on this build i do have some but would need to find some hosting,

piece of cake although i did add a few extras in the way of a 850w full size PSu and a vega 56 budget build my backside one thing i would change is using a MITX mobo, just too bleeding small for building a rig with
