Hi All, I've not built a PC for a very long time.. probably a good 10 years+, today I have a laptop, HP MicroServer and a couple of Raspberry Pi's.. so apart from updating the micro server to a Xeon and a laptop SSD upgrade I have not touched the inside of a PC..

I fancy building a system to play some games.. I don't want to spend silly money and don't want bleeding edge 4K @ 60FPS

I'll get an SSD and have a couple of decent monitors (1920 x 1200) and peripherals..

But I have no idea where to start on CPU / Graphics.. if anyone has any suggestions or site they can point me to?

Is around £500 realistic for CPU, Mobo, Graphics, RAM, Case, PSU? Or am I dreaming.. like I said.. I have no idea anymore!

Nope, will give it a look now.. so out of the loop on these things I think I may need to downgrade my nerd status..

have thrown this together but tbh I'm a bit rusty myself, could try posting on linus tech tips build forum

Cheers..

I assume the Rizen 3/5/7 are the i3/5/7 equivalents?

In which case, is the below combo better a decent jump for the increase in cost?

Edit: Just realised I'm also missing the case cost in this instance.. Still I guess is it worth the extra cost?
