See every refurbished PC on the refurbished gaming PCs page, or every gaming PC we sell.
Questions people ask What is the cheapest gaming PC worth buying? One with a real graphics card. A PC with only built-in graphics is fine for Minecraft and Roblox, but struggles with most other games. The PCs on this page all have a separate graphics card, apart from any we clearly mark.
Is a refurbished gaming PC a good way to save money? Yes, if it is checked properly. Our refurbished PCs are cleaned and tested on our bench in Worcester before they are sold, and our shop's warranty applies.
Can a cheap gaming PC play Fortnite? Yes. Fortnite, Valorant, Rocket League, Minecraft and Roblox play well on a budget PC at 1080p. Our Fortnite guide shows what each level needs.
Can I upgrade a cheap gaming PC later? Usually, yes. A bigger graphics card or more memory are the common upgrades. Sandbox Computers fits upgrades in Worcester, so you can start small and grow.
