[SOLVED] Budget gaming build £200-£300

[Mr_Pallas]

Hi , I have a budget or around £200-£300 , I intend on playing games on pc , mainly games like total war/cs go/ league of legends but would still like to be able to play some more demanding games with no issue and decent fps (I don’t mind playing on low graphics). Preferable to have a build with a view to upgrade parts as and when needed so thoughts on longevity and upgradeability appreciated! Both intel and amd builds welcomed.

You might be better off checking your 2nd hand market for used PCs instead of brand new with the current budget.
CSGO and LoL should be fine with the below build, but for the latter, "would still like to be able to play some more demanding games with no issue and decent fps", part, no.

Thankyou so much man! By 2nd hand market are you referring to 2nd hand completed computers (for example a mini itx office computer) and possibly fitting a gpu that fits the case or do you refer to purchasing the parts second hand and building it ?
