Mikepjbell 354 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I'm getting a bad back whilst using my laptop sat at my desk so I've decided to get a small PC and connect it to my 42" 4K TV. I figured if I'm not leaning over a laptop i'll fare a little better. I wanted to ask if anyone can suggest the cheapest way possible for me to get a desktop PC which has reasonable spec and will do the following: - Have HDMI out and cope with a 4k resolution - Can run photoshop / office applications, normal stuff - Being able to play some old games like CS:GO or BFME2 etc would be great but not really necessary. I have a pretty low budget, around £300, which isn't going to buy much but I want to get as much as possible for my money. Could anyone help me search for something sufficient for my needs? I'm hitting a blank on Amazon at the moment. GazzaGarratt 1 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/8451-new-pc-help-needed/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
tronic44 3,642 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I'd start saving your money and buy a better one later in the year as £300 is not going to get you a lot and you may find you'll have to buy another one in a few years time. My advice would be to buy a laptop stand and buy a seperate keyboard and mouse. The laptop stand will raise and keep your laptop cooler, so you shouldn't be hunched over too much. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Kensington-Portable-Ergonomic-Cooling-SmartFit/dp/B0007YB8NM/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=laptop+riser&qid=1610027525&s=computers&sr=1-5 RenFengge, phil bottle, Mikepjbell and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/8451-new-pc-help-needed/#findComment-135362 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikepjbell 354 Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 I can't believe I didn't think of doing that. I'll give it a go with a laptop stand first and see how I get on.

I'd also look into a better chair, they looks little silly but the gaming chairs that look like racing seats are actually really good for posture.

Good shout, and I did indeed do that too. My current chair has a very low back, no lumbar support and it's like sitting on a wooden board so hopefully that should also help!
