Rank #4 in Best Cheap Gaming PC 2026: What £189 Really Buys
Veno Scorp Gaming PC, Core i5 3rd Gen, GT 710 2GB, 16GB RAM
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
This Veno Scorp costs £229 and is rated 4.3 stars from 17 ratings, with a third-generation Core i5, 16GB of RAM and a GT 710.
It takes fourth because it is the only listing here that states the processor generation and its title and specification finally agree on the graphics card, while a GT 710 is a display adapter rather than a gaming card.
How those 17 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.3 stars.
