I'm looking to put together a gaming PC that can handle games like Old School RuneScape and Minecraft, which aren't too demanding in terms of processing power. I'm curious if I can pull this off for around £400 and would appreciate any advice or suggestions!

Definitely! If you're open to using used parts, you can find some great deals online, especially on platforms like eBay. You can build a decent rig for your budget that will run those games just fine.
For sure! You can find a decent graphics card like the RX 5700 for about £130-£150, and that should serve you well for 1080p gaming. Just keep your eyes on the used market to snag good deals. Just a heads up, the power supply might limit some upgrades later on, but it's manageable. Check out some part lists for inspiration!
If you want something simple, consider grabbing a prebuilt from eBay or Amazon and then adding a decent graphics card like the RX 580. You could stay within your budget with that combo while still getting a Ryzen 5000 series CPU for better performance.
Honestly, for OSRS, you really don't need much—my old laptop runs it fine! Just make sure you avoid overheating issues like I had.
How easy is it to put everything together? Haha.
