Hey all

Been away from the scene for a while having sold my PC back in 2011, So looking to get back into the scene. What parts.. if any would you recommend buying off eBay, I plan to buy my CPU new but what would parts to look for if I wanted mid-range gaming ie. Overwatch, FM17, Firewatch etc.

Have no parts so starting from scratch, Budget is around £550.

Thanks guys

wouldn't recommend used parts. this build is slightly over your budget too. so guess i have been useless on both fronts!

RAM (if tested), mobos and CPU's are pretty safe, I would stay away from second hand GPU's. But used is used.

New build, a little under budget
