Thank you all very much for all the love, it really means the world to me <3
I have since got really good news! I will be getting a new PC on 12th-14th of July and be returning to VC:MP
oooh very cool, don't forget to tell us about the specs
Hehe
CPU: Intel i3 9100F
GPU: Nvidia GEFORCE GTX 1650
RAM: Corsair 8GB DDR4
Storage: SATA 256 GB SSD
if you want my opinion,
go for a ryzen 5 1600 af ( 6 cores 12 threads instead of 4c/4t ), if you can't afford it, then buy ryzen 3 1200 (4c/4t). difference might not be marginal but both CPUs have the same socket and are compatible with most mobo chipsets, I'm giving this advice if you consider upgrading in the future as ryzen CPUs are way more affordable and better than intel's.
your specs sound like a typical pre-built desktop, pls don't tell me you're not considering to build a pc.
for those specs I suppose they shouldn't overcome 400 pounds.

Don't go for i3, it's shiet tbh.
go for ryzen or i5 4th gen if you have the budget. You'll regret buying i3 seriously.
Yeah, I was thinking of custom building it on PC Specialist for £520 as it's the cheapest I've been able to find it. All other prebuilt PCs cost a tonne more for less.
As for the CPU, I've taken a look at a bottleneck calculator for the 2 you've suggested and they both bottleneck more than the current i3 I have selected, which only does it for 0.73%. I just don't wanna end up paying more for a better CPU and not be able to take full advantage of it. Also on PC Specialist you have a select number of CPUs and GPUs to work with, and neither of them were on there.
Also for future upgrades like you're talking about, that I really don't think I'll be needing as the most demanding game I'd ever really play would be Rainbow Six Siege, which I will still be able to run at medium settings for 60+ fps.
