What do you get for your £500?

When you're on a budget, finding the right gaming PC can be a challenge. However, for £500, you can still find a great machine that provides a solid gaming experience. With £500, you can expect the following features:

Performance

You can expect a machine that can handle most games on low settings and a dual-core CPU that provides ample processing power. With an AMD Athlon 300GE Dual Core 3.4GHz processor and AMD Vega 3 graphics card, you'll be able to play casual games with ease, and you may even be able to play some high-end games on low settings.

AMD Vs Intel

The machines in this budget typically use AMD processors and graphics cards, while our higher-end range uses Intel Core. AMD is known for providing good value for money, and its processors and graphics cards are designed to be energy-efficient, making them perfect for budget gaming PCs.

GPU

All pcs from our budget range, feature an AMD GPU such as the Vega 3 and Vega 8, whereas our high-end models feature GPUs from NVIDIA's RTX and GTX range.

Storage

You can expect a machine with a 1TB hard drive, which provides ample storage for your games, music, movies, and other files. Some machines may also have a 240GB solid-state drive for fast loading times and improved performance.

Memory

Most machines in this budget come with 8GB of RAM, which should be sufficient for most gaming needs. If you need more memory, there are also machines with 16GB of RAM available.

WiFi Connectivity

Most machines in this budget come with a 600Mbps USB Wireless Network Adaptor, allowing you to connect to your home Wi-Fi network without any hassle.

Case and Power Supply

You can expect a machine with a case that has enough room inside for a full-sized graphics card and cable management. Most machines come with a 500W power supply, which provides enough power for running your system without any overheating problems.

Prebuilt PC VS building your own

Pre-built PCs are pre-assembled and tested by the manufacturer and can be a great option for those who don't have the technical know-how or time to build their own. On the other hand, building your own PC gives you complete control over the components and customization options, allowing you to select the exact components that fit your needs and budget.

Additionally, building your own PC often results in a lower total cost and provides a deeper understanding of the inner workings of your computer. However, building a PC does require technical knowledge and can be time-consuming. The choice between a pre-built PC and building your own ultimately comes down to personal preference, technical expertise, and budget.

All Vibox PCs can be customised to your own specification using our PC Configurator and also add additional peripherals such as a keyboard, monitor, mouse, headset and more.
