If you wanna save up some more, here's an ~$850 computer that I designed:

I don't settle for "good enough." I go with powerful stuff that will last a long while.

For everyone who is getting a new computer, I tell them that if you want to do more work stuff or gaming, get a Windows. If you want to do more creative stuff like photo and video editing, get a Mac.

Not true at all. Photoshop and tons of video editing software run perfectly fine on Windows.

You're not going to be running shaders with that.

Pre-built at that budget isn't going to be very good, and shaders can be demanding, even on high-end PCs. Keep in mind; you get what you pay for.

LinuxGamingCentralMy budget is around $800 And Building My Gaming PC ill be able to Stream and also record 1080p games. Feeling Happy


Recording games at 1080p requires a fast hard drive, just so you know. If you're getting an average-speed drive and using it for your OS, you probably won't be able to maintain a good FPS at 1080p, just because the drive won't be able to keep up. I'd recommend shelling out the extra money to get a separate recording drive, or even a couple to put in RAID.

NuclearManxYou honestly cannot get a reasonable shader FPS for under £600 (GBP).


By reasonable I am talking 20-30 FPS.


You will have to spend more then your budget for that unless you build one. I have a $600 PC and I run regular Minecraft at 50 fps and Shaders at 10, of course I didn't build mine so I could have gotten a lot better.

Ok so 250-300 $ isnt a good price range because you need a dedicated GPU which is quite costly and a good CPU so that the GPU isnt getting bottle necked in any way.

pcpartpicker.com/p/1br2G I recommend this build. Or something to do with AMD as a CPU because of their extremely low cost price NOTE: Keep in mind just because AMD is cheaper than Intel doesn't mean its a cheaply made cpu, AMD at the moment is keeping intel alive because of their new technologies.

Im sorry but in the world we live in today its going to cost at least 1K to create a pretty good capable gaming pc which can run games at reasonable settings.

Eco212Guys, although I like your help with processors, graphics cards etc. I'm actually looking for links to computers within the specs I have stated. Thanks!



your not gonna find a good pre-built computer for £200

the current computer i own cost me £170 and is pre-built and it is a pile of ****

the only way to get a cheap pc with the specs you need is either be really lucky on e-bay or build your own (its not that hard to build your own)

iiSh4dOwXWhat ever you do make sure you look at an nvida graphics card


Nvidia is a good option for a pc when you have a lot of cash, in tighter budget you generally want to be looking at AMD as the fact is they are cheaper, and have the same quality (or there abouts).

I totally agree with you.

Here is a computer build. It may not be the best possible because my brain isn't in top notch performance at 9.30 at night unfortunately. You could probably find something for cheaper, but hope it helps. Also it is unfortunately about $773

I did some more looking and found this on newegg.
