Little brother wants a computer...

[Zayne]

Hey, my little brother wants a computer, one for gaming but not top of the range. He's only turning 10, so I'm not spending a fortune on it, max £400 maybe £500.
I've always stuck with Intel, and haven't bought a computer in years, so any advice would be great :]

He's 10, he shouldnt have his own computer

 

[Aero]

do not introduce him to perp you are going to ruin his life

 

[Zayne]

Probably but my mum is letting him, he feels left out since all his friends have them.

i think its time to ditch Intel and join AMD fan boys. literally no reason not to go AMD, faster and alot better prices. Maybe a AMD with integrated graphics?

AMD Ryzen 5 2400g seems like a good option if you wanna ditch the graphics card and save money

 

[Zayne]

If he found it, I'd take the computer off him, dw

 

[Ysauzi]

also you the free version of windows 10 is just as good as the 100 dollar one

only you see a watermark on the bottom right

That is mainly amd... but good and cheap, you can change specs if you would like

@AlexDunsシ better ram, better psu, better cpu and a nicer case for £90 less

 

[Zayne]

There's one on ebay, with new components for £325. AMD Ryzen 5 2400G, 8 GB RAM, 1TB HDD.

 

[Bojing]

well Anything works if you got time then build because it will be cheaper to buy better parts.

If you are looking to build the pc

https://www.scan.co.uk/

I recommend that website

with £400 don't bother getting a graphics card

dump everything into a good Ryzen APU + fast ddr4 ram and you'll be set for almost any games that he should be playing

Ryzen 5 2400G really gets you a good deal here, you could also wait and see how the new Ryzen 5 3400G will be (some sources say about 10%) if you'd like the rig to last a little bit longer. @Ysauzi's build is more than good enough, just make sure that the board is a B450. For Ryzen 3 you will need to update your BIOS.

Fast RAM makes a difference for APU gaming. Please just make sure you get two sticks (RAM Kit) for Dual Channel.

This one is the 2200G, still hella good

 

[R-Flex]

there isnt a ryzen 3 2400g

 

[Creepis]

Ryzen 5 2400G, you know what I mean.

You can save money and buy him a decent laptop which can run minecraft and other low demanding games, portability will keep him from being stuck in his room. And if he wants a good rig teach him he has to earn it, i.e save towards it and he can earn money through chores, that way he gets a nice rig and learns an important life lesson.

Do you have a kid of your own?
