Looking to Upgrade from PS5 to a Gaming PC on a Budget

Asked By TechieTurtle92 On

I'm new to PCs and I'm thinking about upgrading from my PS5. I have a budget of £350, but I'm willing to stretch it to around £370 if needed for a significant upgrade. I'm also considering a prebuilt PC if that ends up being a more cost-effective option than buying parts separately. I mainly game with titles like Overwatch 2, Apex Legends, and Fortnite, and I want something that can run these games smoothly with good FPS. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Honestly, for £350, it's going to be hard to find something that beats a PS5. You might land a used PC, but it really comes down to luck and what’s available around you. You could also look into something like a gaming handheld if that interests you—like a Steam Deck!

If you're determined to stick with £350, you can explore some secondhand options. Check this out: **1. £270** for an Intel 12-core with GTX 980 Ti at [Computey Link](https://computey.com/product/652411401028/gaming-pc-intel-12-core-gtx-980-ti-6gb-ssd). Another option **2. £429.99** for a budget-friendly PC with Nvidia 1660 Super at [Computey Link](https://computey.com/product/570596629893/budget-friendly-gaming-pc-nvidia-1660-super-windows-11-pro). Just keep in mind the performance at this price point won't surpass the PS5.

For the price you’re looking at, maybe consider raising your budget to around £500 for something that really performs well, even if it's prebuilt. You just won't get the best experience with gaming PCs at £350 right now, unless you're lucky with used parts or systems!

With a budget of £350, you'll have a tough time finding a PC that outperforms your PS5. The current prices for RAM and GPUs have gone up a lot, making it tricky. Your best bet might be to look for a good secondhand deal—try sites like Gumtree or shops like CeX. Aim for at least a decent CPU with 6 or more cores from the last 8 years, and consider upgrading the GPU down the line when prices stabilize. Games like the ones you mentioned usually have a flexible range to run on, so you might find something decent.
