What does the term refurbished mean?
First let’s explain
what buying refurbished should mean and what you should expect when buying a
refurbished PC. A reconditioned or refurbished PC is no longer brand new and
may be:
- Returned customer orders.
- A used machine which has been cleaned and tested.
- A repaired and restored product to full working order.
- Products with cosmetic damage or spoiled packaging.
- Display and ex demonstration stock.
As opposed to buying
second hand a refurbished product should be cleaned, repaired if needed
and tested before been sold as refurbished. The condition of the product should
be accurately described and advertised so buyers understand what is for sale.
What do I need in a cheap refurbished gaming PC?
The amount you need to spend on a gaming PC all depends on
the type of games you wish to play and the applications you intend to run.
Therefore, it’s vital to check the minimum system requirements that you need
and that your budget PC is compatible with your needs.
It’s important to know how much graphic card and CPU power you
require which will depends on your spec requirements now and in the future. Desktop
Gaming PCs can range from hundreds of pounds to thousands of pounds, depending
on the components, brand and overall PC specifications.
If you are only playing games like Minecraft, Fortnite, Brawlhalla,
playing games on Roblox and the computer will be used for web browsing, watching
YouTube video and social media then you don’t need to spend unnecessary money
on high powered graphic cards and lots of RAM.
