Rate my mismatched new build. ;)
I've been on a bargain hunt, and have ended up with the following parts to build a basic PC to watch movies on, with the potential to upgrade it for gaming in future :-PCPartPicker part list: System Builder - Ryzen 3 2200G 3.5 GHz Quad-Core, Define R5 Blackout Edition ATX Mid Tower - PCPartPicker United Kingdom

Picked everything up second hand or on special offer, and already had the case, so it's cost me around £300 all in, seemed to make more sense to me than buying something new with a lower spec for more money.
Anyway, not even sure why I've posted it, just nice to have a PC in the living room again I guess, lol! data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 TBH £300 sounds about right, last week i picked up a Ryzen 2700 GB Aorus 450 elite for £280 when ebay had the 15% off day, also got a 16GB 3000mhz kit for £87 and a 256MB NVME drive for £50 tisa nice wee system data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 It'll do what I need and more, plus there's plenty of scope for future upgrades, a nice 2080ti in there might make it a different beast, lol! data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 I'm sure it will, those sammy drives are amazing spec, I had to call between the bigger faster drive and the 16GB in my budget, as i use some VMs for various bits the RAM won out data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
and i figured with my board i can add another 256GB and raid 0 it when i have a bit more cash data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
