Good for the money. You won't get better new. I would recommend at least upgrading the cpu to a ryzen 2600 for the sake of £40. the 2300x will be ok for most games, but it's not at all future proof and some current games will struggle with it. the 2600 is infinitely better.

avoid custompc, terrible business. that machine on adverts is fine performance wise, but most of the parts are really old and not upgradable, at that price, no way. you would get a machine as fast for that money new really that would be far more upgradable down the line. the processor in that is from 2011.

Why don't you buy reasonable entry level gear and set your 11 year old to take charge of assembling the PC and getting it working with your help.
That would actually be a much more educational and fulfilling process for them than the actual gaming which the PC will be fore. It is surprsingly easy to assemble a PC from components. As long as you have all the parts compatible, you just fit them together. For the most part things just slot or clip into place and and everything has different shape connections so it is very difficult to actually connect something wrong. You should be able to find a good step by step guide somewhere on how to assemble a PC and get it running, or find a good how to youtube viedo. |
