Hi.
I am looking at buying a new desktop pc.
I mainly would be using it for games like Football Manager 2019, Sid Meier games and that type of turn-based simulation games.
So, I need a desktop that would work really well for those games.
However, I won't be playing any of the more graphics-intense type of games that are probably most associated with a 'gaming pc'.
So essentially I was hoping for some advice, suggestions and recommendations for what to opt for and why.
Links are very welcome.
I am always strapped for cash so really the absolute most i could afford is around £230. I know that is not very much when talking about a gaming computer but because the specifications of what i require are not as high as what most people require for gaming then hopefully there will be something in my price range?
I have seen some desktops on Amazon that seem to match the specs but they are unfamiliar brands or don't have any reviews so i am unsure of whether to buy them or not.
Any advice would be appreciated.
I know i probably am coming across as such a noob but i certainly am in terms of modern pc gaming so i don't mind admitting it, haha.
