Please note:
These figures are realistic performance estimates rather than
guaranteed benchmark results. Actual FPS can vary depending on the
processor, memory, drivers, game updates, background applications,
cooling, selected map and individual game settings. Ray tracing,
shaders, resolution scaling and frame generation can also
significantly change performance.
Integrated graphics estimates assume 16GB of dual channel 3200MHz
memory. Systems using single channel memory or slower RAM may deliver
substantially lower integrated graphics performance.

🖥️ Why AM4 Actually Matters at This Price
At this price point, most budget PCs you will find elsewhere are still running old DDR3 platforms that do not officially support Windows 11.
The No Frills uses the modern AM4 platform, which means it is fully Windows 11 compliant now and will continue to receive proper support, unlike ageing DDR3 machines being sold as "budget" options.
You are getting a genuinely current platform, not old stock dressed up as new.

Common Questions
🎯 Who is this PC for?
The No Frills is built for gamers who want genuine dedicated graphics card performance without paying for lighting, glass panels or other extras they will not notice while playing.
It is a great entry point for EAFC 26, GTA 5, Cyberpunk 2077 and Red Dead Redemption 2, and for anyone who wants a modern Windows 11 compliant platform at the lowest honest price.
🎮 Can this PC run Cyberpunk 2077 and Red Dead Redemption 2?
Yes. Both titles run smoothly on medium settings at 1080p, which are the two most demanding games on our test list for this build.
EAFC 26 and GTA 5 are considerably lighter and both run comfortably above 60fps on high settings.
♻️ Why are some parts refurbished?
The CPU, RAM and graphics card in this build are refurbished and fully tested before use. This is how we keep The No Frills at such a low honest price without cutting corners on real gaming performance.
Every refurbished component is checked and confirmed working before it goes into your build.
🖥️ Why does the AM4 platform matter?
Many budget PCs at this price point are still built on old DDR3 platforms that do not officially support Windows 11.
The No Frills uses the modern AM4 platform, which is fully Windows 11 compliant and gives you a genuinely current foundation rather than outdated hardware repackaged as a budget option.

Our bundles pair a gaming PC with a monitor, keyboard, mouse and headset we've hand picked to work brilliantly together. Save money and skip the headache of matching parts yourself. We've already done it for you.
Please read this listing's exact specification carefully before ordering. The cover photo and additional images may show optional upgrades chosen by a previous customer, such as RGB fan strips, RGB memory, a different cooler, additional case fans or RGB lighting. These are not included as standard, only if they appear in the specification above. Because every PC is made to order, many customers do choose to add upgrades like these, but we will never send a specification lower than the one listed for this build.
Because of the choice we offer, and because we are always bringing out new models, the cover image may in some cases be a 3D rendered representation rather than a photo of the actual build. We try to be as accurate as possible, but a render will not be a perfect match. If you have any concerns or would like to check anything before ordering, please get in touch via WhatsApp, phone, email or whichever method suits you best.
