Hello!

Im looking to build a PC that i will mainly use for gaming.
Some games that i play include:
Heavily modded minecraft
Rust
Phasmaphobia
7 Days to Die

Im looking for a PC that will run these games smoothly and not at a bare minimum. My budget is £800 but could possibly extend this budget if needs be. If anyone is able to help me out please send me a DM. thanks!!!

I am UK based and have very little knowledge on building PC's so i cant give a lot of info on what i already know.

Do you already have a PC that you're retiring? What monitor and peripherals do you have?

You can get a PC for £800 but it will not be particularly powerful or up to date. It'll be fine, but not great.

I think the monitor that i have supports 4K im at my girlfriends at the moment so i cant check but i use it with my PS5.

I think with all the games that i play that minecraft modded is surely the highest requirement

Ok thanks for the advice. Doesn’t anyone have any ideas for builds that are maybe under £1000 that would work for what I require?

For 1080p gaming this would do a job but we're pushing it to be honest. Not sure I'd fully recommend it but it's a system that'll work and has room to grow

@sck451 tends to be really good with budget systems so hoping he'll chime in with some improvements

Something like this would be a decent start:

Case
LIAN LI LANCOOL 205 MESH C GAMING CASE Good budget case
Processor (CPU)
AMD Ryzen 5 5600 Six Core CPU (3.5GHz-4.4GHz/35MB CACHE/AM4) Good budget CPU
Motherboard
ASUS® TUF GAMING B550-PLUS (DDR4, USB 3.2, 6Gb/s) - ARGB Ready! V good motherboard. The Gigabyte DS3H would save £30. I don't think that's a worthwhile sacrifice as this opens up more upgrade options for the future
Memory (RAM)
16GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4 3200MHz (2 x 8GB) Decent RAM
Graphics Card
8GB AMD RADEON™ RX 6600 - HDMI, DP - DX® 12 A decent budget video card
1st M.2 SSD Drive
1TB SOLIDIGM P41+ GEN 4 M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD (up to 4125MB/sR, 2950MB/sW) I'd prefer more storage, but this is easy to upgrade
Power Supply
CORSAIR 750W RMe SERIES™ MODULAR 80 PLUS® GOLD, ULTRA QUIET V much overkill for this build, but it gives you way more upgrade options in the future. The CV650 would be an option but it wouldn't be my choice
Power Cable
1 x 1.5 Metre UK Power Cable (Kettle Lead)
Processor Cooling
PCS FrostFlow 100 V3 Series High Performance CPU Cooler (AMD) Adequate cooling
Thermal Paste
STANDARD THERMAL PASTE FOR SUFFICIENT COOLING
Sound Card

Network Card
