Recommend me a nearly silent budget gaming PC available IN THE EU, please?

[Coinkydink]

Title- I don't need to play big AAA 3D games at high settings. I cannot tolerate fan hum and quiet operation is more important than high performance. MUST have full size LAN port!

budget : €450 max- I have a display and all other peripherals. I am not tech savvy and know nothing about motherboards and so on, and just looking for a ready-built machine. Gaming, browsing, watching 4k movies and basic image editing is what i will need to do.

thanks!

I don't know much about the EU, but I suspect you can't get much at all for that money. Well, maybe a very cheap microatx build.

What resolution you going to game at. 1080p?

[Omega]

For 450 euro a proper gaming machine is out of a budget, especially if you want a silent one.

You can start building a rig for this price and initially use it with integrated graphics, but a GPU will have to be added later to turn it in to a proper gaming capable machine.

So, what I did was I went to PCpartpicker and chose UK.

Looks like you can get a microatx build like this one https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/pXn2cH for like £403.85.

Maybe you can buy the parts and pay someone £50 to put it together?.

So, that would really only be a good idea if you know how to make this thing last a long time since it will be already, weak when built. If someone does put it together, make sure they know how to deal with the bios issue if it should arise that he needs to figure that out. It also might not be silent. Won't game newer games well.

If you can save, just save up some more. Another 250 of your currency might be able to take you another couple years.

450 = get a game console or Steam deck

You're going to need at least 1000 for gaming pc

or use your imagination

For this kinda of budget it would make more sense to get second hand parts or even an entire PC, which will give you more room for a better GPU/CPU.

I dunno really. Maybe something like this?

• Ryzen 5 8600g[www.amazon.co.uk]: £214.99
  
• M.S.I. A620M-E Proseries[www.amazon.co.uk]: £81.01
  
• Integral 32GB kit (2x16GB) DDR5 R.A.M. 4800MHz[www.amazon.co.uk] £80.94
  
• Mars Gaming MC-CORE, Ultra-Compact Micro-ATX PC Case[www.amazon.co.uk] £28.81
  
• Be quiet! 450W System Power 10 PSU, 80+ Bronze[www.amazon.co.uk] £46.50

Total cost £452.25

Though come to think of it this is without an internal drive.

If you're wondering where the discrete G.P.U. is, there isn't one and that's kind of the point of going with an 8000 series A.P.U. A Radeon 760M is supposed to be about equivalent to a GTX 1060[www.tomshardware.com], and I'm guessing an integrated G.P.U. would be quieter than a discrete one, especially since the 8600g has a 65 watt T.D.P., so you only need about the amount of cooling as a fairly typical C.P.U. I'm also assuming Be Quiet P.S.Us. live up to their name. Those are just about the only considerations I'm giving to quietness at this budget.

Full APU build which looks reasonably fine.
https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/P9XYFs

The same, but I removed the SSD and went with the Noctua NH-P1 Fanless CPU cooler and the Thermaltake Toughpower PF1, which has a Fan RPM of 0 when the system is pulling ≈250W.

Build with dGPU, but there are a few cutted corners and surely will be more noisy than the first one. Also has no storage.

Don't bother, OP hasn't responded here once.

Frankly he doesn't deserve your work doing pc builds in pc part picker for him.

It's not like he has the knowledge to build it anyways, what he needs is basically a NUC with an AMD APU inside.

Or a second handed gaming PC.

[_I_]

even a console may be out of his budget, unless a ps4 or xbox1 s/x

[NoticedAlarm]

Cant really find much for that budget, but I've found a good GPU. You should use the GTX 1650 . Here's the one I found, https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Auto-Extreme-Technology-144-Hour-Validation/dp/B0CJMRS6ZJ/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3SOH3S6JJC4WV&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.g8e077QX41h9haVK2g9UDuXJFo07VYbYZs2lC78GRyP6ZpKp7N0S9EHoOdPx5MNXngbmvp2q65-rOHtGBeL98u02oG4FlFJmrfFYGgL0Nih6HZ83-cwHB53VWMrsWclmHsH7YfhqIaasr9f0FoQtcdvd6hjxZE6U4E_OdZxJQYkFu37g7lgVWEerUl3vxPb7R7XVwIXAWILydhurIS5a6bsSObu5pqb-6F5qjFpEpPrSkU8dsqwC01IQ8WovE3fwFeXvVkTpfLezNojMDMWR4jAw3YXjhTVSi94uy2fvjms.oUWKIBOoguHa59fEdHTKrpQglEecuUoWqI00xlH7LdA&dib_tag=se&keywords=gtx+1650+asus&qid=1716338370&s=electronics&sprefix=gtx+1650+asu%2Celectronics%2C85&sr=1-1

ps5/xbox series x, with that low budget it's only console.

Lol I know but I'm in a similar situation so it's interesting for me to see what I can get if I go fully silent.

[Guydodge]

for that kind of cash your better off in the used market might be able to find something a little dated but capable to get of what you want out of it.

something along the line of this very decent for 400.00 do a repaaste keep the fans low
and the case is big enough to allow the heat to disperse.

alright for silence i will recommend you the delta fans but wait those are loud yes but wait for it eventually they are dead silent and weirdly everything else too XD

honestly for 450 the only options are apu's basically just gaming off a chipset those cannot handle 4k and while they got much further to allow more titles in 1080p at 60 fps or higher a lot stuff need to run at 720p but you can add a videocard later

on prebuilds you have better luck finding a unicorn then getting a prebuild that would cost as much as a self build this lead me to building my own because of a few reasons

1. btw if you have a prebuild the price of the whole system gets used to calculate that price on top if you purchase parts due to the price being lower you also pay less btw over it

2. your paying for windows license you are paying for building fee and whatever bs they would to saddle you with now i can life with a building fee i cant life with it costing 200 euro at some companies

3. the system is always weaker then what you can build yourself not to mention some prebuilds have stripped motherboards meaning no pci ports i don't know if that practice is still done today since i never look at prebuilds but back when i wanted a new pc so many prebuilds i was f'ed with due to the motherboard making it even more expensive down the road to upgrade

4. rma with a prebuild you have to rma the whole system back to them while on a self build one you can take the part out and rma it and maybe use a spare part to continue using the pc

basically you are not getting your money worth in prebuilds
