Just new looking for help

Hi, im looking for a laptop i can use for work but can use for gaming too. I dont need extreme high end as most of my needs are for games like command and conquer red alert 3 or dawn of war 2 those sort of games that i played years ago. Can i get some ideas from the more experienced users.
Thanks.

What’s your max budget?

What kind of work packages do you use?

£500 is barely enough to buy a custom PC

Once you consider the price of the case, the motherboard, the RAM, some kind of storage, PSU, and Windows, that leaves you relatively little for the things that matter to more demanding tasks like gaming and photoshop.

That said, you needs are quite modest, so I think you can get a valid system, you just need to have managed expectations if you decide you want to play Witcher 3 or something (let's not forget Witcher 3 came out over 3 1/2 years ago, so is hardly brand new...)

The CPU should be fine for what you need it for. The motherboard should support AMD's next gen of CPUs out next year too, so scope for upgrades. The case and PSU should allow a range of GPU upgrades if you need that for Photoshop or future gaming.
