Ok I’m not amazing computer components and I’m looking at affordable gaming pcs, I’ve found these two bargains online and need to check if the second one is worth the extra £20. Both are around £500

8GB 1600MHz DDR3 (1 x 8GB) Memory
1TB SATA3 6Gbps Hard Drive
500W Power Supply
Microsoft Windows 10 Home 64 Bit

Second One:
https://www.fiercepc.co.uk/ironwing-exile
AMD Athlon X4 845 3.5GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) Quad Core Processor
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB Graphics Card
Stock Cooler
Gigabyte F2A78M-HD2 Motherboard

1TB Seagate FireCuda Solid State Hybrid Drive - 5x faster than HDD
500W Power Supply

Thanks in advance

Both are bad. Why, because the motherboards they are based on are old and dead-end. Don't waste your money.

Look for something in your price range with a B250 motherboard.

I'd rather have a gtx 1050 ti in those to be honest,but that makes things even more expensive.

Windows might be used the next way which would give some funds,but i don't know for how long,

The option of getting something used is there as well.Something like this,
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dell-Precision-T1700-Xeon-E3-1246-v3-3-5GHz-8GB-1TB-NVS-Win-10-Pro-Desktop-PC/372177291525?hash=item56a77ec905:g:jpcAAOSwDkVaMU~M
put a gtx 1050 ti in there.
There;s alimited warranty on this of 3 months and maybe other things to consider,but performance should be good.
