[techblob97]

hey, i found 3 pcs that look interesting, but all different prices and specs.

i want others opinions which is the best to get.
it will be my very first pc i own, so im not sure what i should look for.

this is going to be used to play entry level games.
but i also want a semi fast pc, so i can do multiple things

id have a gander at the used market.... the one on meshcomputers isnt a good option as well.

 

[mcconkeymike]

The new one is your best bet. The refurbs are really old tech, they might do what you want, but the new Ryzen system will do it better and longer. Plus the new system has an SSD which I consider a necessity.

 

[madmatt30]

The platforms on the refurbs are way out of date

The mesh one is decent spec but the choice of psu's is shocking to say the least

Options 1-3 Old CPU, HDD instead of SSD, lower mid range GPU.s

The refurbished PC looks the best of that bunch.

However you would be better off building something yourself.
Its easy enough and there's plenty of advice available online.

will the power supply be enough for that setup?
also, will any case do? or is there specific ones that i should go for?
links would be highly appreciated

didnt know building your own was that simple

 

[stevenjemint]

500w is fine for that setup

Any case that will fit a minimum of a Micro ATX motherboard.

 

[techblob97]

okay, would this case be fine then?

[madmatt30]

Cade would be fine but by the time you've added 2 fans your hitting £40+ which would buy you a better case with fans already included.

 

[techblob97]

OKAY can you give me any suggestions for cases?

didnt even know cases came with fans included
