    Thanks for the info lads. will fill that out when i discuss with himself tonight

    I'm of the opinion it should be an all in one, and the main function of it being a family pc first and foremost, with the gaming secondary. i was kinda looking at pc world or dell or hp. Something handy like that should something with it go wrong. but i'm prob paying a premium for that am i?

    thanks for the help will come back to ye later

    That would not be a good buy at all as it has no dedicated graphics card. It uses integrated graphics on the CPU so it would be very weak for gaming. Is small form factor a must?

    I would have liked it small but I wouldn't have a notion so I will rely on ye to guide me.

    This any good? Add the Q Jump for 80 quid, what else would I need?

    Thanks

    Depends how much you want to spend really. That base system will be good enough for 40+FPS at low settings in farming simulator and Fortnite (according to youtube videos).

    It's not very hard to install a graphics card, if you were comfortable doing that, you could change the CPU to a 2600 for +£50 and pick up a second hand GPU for cheap? Or if you're not comfortable doing that the GTX 1650 or RX 570 for £160 will be more than enough for Fortnite.

    A second stick of ram to bring it up to 16gb at 3200mhz for £50 would also be a good investment.

    There's lots of good suggestions over in the HUKD comments for that deal actually https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/pc-of-the-week-ryzen-3-3200g-vega-8-graphics-8gb-ddr4-240gb-ssd-for-ps250-at-palicomp-3533263

    Yeah that's perfect for Fortnite, monitor and all. You can grab a Windows cd key from eBay or other sites for next to nothing. You'll need a PC to download it and write it to a usb stick though.
