Hey guys, 

 

So I'm looking to build my first PC with a £1000 budget and would welcome any advice on parts, stores or tools for a newbie haha. Won't be a workstation or anything, mostly gaming and media streaming. 

 

Thanks in advance for all your help!

I would agree with you there. It’s a value for money thing. Didn’t even think about it when editing this list ?

 

OP could perhaps add a AIO if he likes the looks of it. Kraken X52 or H100i as examples

Update:

 

I have ordered the parts, decided to go with AMD ryzen 5 and an RTX 2070 (as a newbie gamer, couldn't justify splashing out the extra on the 2080) haha. Many thanks to all of you who helped me out with your suggestions and advice. Thank you all so much
