well, to get you something budget friendly I need to know if you got any RAM lying around, power supplies, towers, and harddrives, because it will cost you around 200£ for a graphics card and a decent CPU.

okay, ill try to piece togheter a rig but dont expect to max a lot of games out. also, try to scrounge a tower and a disc drive, check with your classmates if they got a old desktop collecting dust, you want to get as many "old" desktops as possible for parts. (dont buy them tho)
