    Hi All,

    This group massively helped me a few years back with a build for my eldest daughter but now it my youngest daughters turn and any help would be appreciated.

    Budget €500

    Windows not required or any accessories bar a WiFi adapter

    Will be used mainly for gaming but nothing majorly AAA.

    Roblox, Hogwarts Legacy and Maybe some Fortnite and Apex.

    Thanks in advance all

    See if you can get a 6-core CPU during Prime Day/Black Friday.

    You could also browse Adverts for RTX 2060 - don't offer more than €185-190.

    Hi, just following this great advice for my own kids, first build myself also, Is it difficult to flash the bios to update it? Should I try to avoid it if possible?

    It's very easy.

    If the B450 isn't using an updated BIOS, Windows won't be able to use newer CPUs.
