Spec my friend

[Hicks]

Hey guys,

My friend is looking at moving across to PC to play WoW as his Mac is now old and decrepit.
He has about £500 budget and has a monitor sorted already but will need everything else including Windows.

Any help appreciated.

Ideally, you would try and buy second hand as you would get a lot more for your money but if that doesn't appeal:

You would still need to add an OS and keyboard and mouse but this should be achievable 'around' your budget.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Gigabyte GA-B250M-DS3H Intel B250 (Socket 1151) DDR4 Micro ATX Motherboard= £69.95
• 1 x Intel Pentium G4560 3.50GHz (Kaby Lake) Socket LGA1151 Processor - Retail= £64.99
• 1 x GeIL Pristine AMD Edition 8GB PC4-19200 2400MHz Single Module - Black (GAP48GB2400C16SC)= £56.50
• 1 x Palit GeForce GTX 1050Ti StormX 4096MB PCI-Express GDDR5 Graphics Card= £128.99

@Plec's build looks good, but consider the Gigabyte GTX 1050 Ti for the UK RMA.
