    Hi all,
    Any advice on the below would be great, it'll be for casual gaming but decent settings would be nice in games such as Fortnite - Battle Royale and PlayerUnknowns Battlegrounds, Skyrim and the like.
    Having looked at other similar threads it seems that the Ryzen 3 is getting referred a lot, is this a better option than an i3/i5 for the budget end of things and is there an upgrade path for it?
    Being a novice at building would I be better off going for something pre built such as this? https://www.amazon.co.uk/ADMI-VR-1-Gaming-PC-Graphics/dp/B0722XX6KX/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1511306637&sr=8-3&keywords=admi%2Bgaming%2Bpc&th=1
    hope links are allowed mods

    Thanks in advance.
