Gaming Pc recommendations

mcgrath1992

Hi so I'm looking to get into pc gaming and I could do with some recommendations at a reasonable price. It doesn't have to be the most powerful just powerful enough to run steam games like car mechanic simulator and etc as my all in one acer from currys just isn't suited for gaming. Games are very slow on it. A tower for around the €300-500 range is perfect enough. Any suggestions?

Post again in the PC building and Upgrading forum. People will advise you on what kind of specs would suit your needs. You don't have to be building it yourself. You can get advice on what kind of pre-built would suit you.

I think this is about the cheapest you can find in the current climate (computer chip & GPU shortage).
Has an AMD Ryzen 4600G which is a pretty decent CPU with an adequate onboard graphics chip.
Only downside is it's slightly over budget (549eur) and likely running with 1x 8Gb RAM sticks - if so, upgrading to 2x RAM sticks would increase game smoothness.

Well above budget (649) but would be about twice as fast as the above due to the GTX 1650 Super graphics card.

bottom line when searching for PCs:

Intel Pentium/AMD Athlon are junk. Avoid.
