Need help with a 800 Pound pc - didnt know where to put this

[NightNightDoom]

Hey there. I have £800 (british pounds) to spend on a desktop gaming computer. I play Guildwars 2 (WvW) and am planning on playing Wildstar and my current laptop isn 't good enough for both of those games. Other games I play include Civ 5, the battlefield series and tribes acsend. I want this new PC to run all those games well and upcoming ones aswell. I would like the PC to be from a trusted british company or Amazon and others like it. If you need any other information just ask. BTW I prefer Intel/Nvidia and this budget doesnt include monitor, keyboard or mouse. I have £200 for them and am also taking suggestions for those. Thankyou for reading and IT MUST BE PRE BUILT .

 

Summary: £800 for the Desktop

£200 for the Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, Mouse mat

Why pre built? Its not hard to build your own.

[KamiKatze]

Man up and build it yourself. You don't sound like you have to get a pre-built for any specific reason, so why not build it yourself? You can choose the parts, you get manufacturer warranty on each part and you'll learn something for your life.

 

Edit: The parts below make a great PC. It stretches the budget a little bit. You could step down to a FX 6300 and a MSI 970 G46. If you leave out the SSD you can get a R9 280X instead.

Building it myself will just be a horrible anxious experience that I really wouldnt enjoy and I know it is A LOT better to do it yourself but it just isnt for me

Its not that painless, and can be quite fun. if you need help. @LinusTech has plenty of build guides you can follow along with on his channel. 

[SOUTHwarrior]

Well sounds like you need to hit the gym to carry that monstrosity. Second Id recommend a concrete base to put it on because its 800 pounds. Third id recommend just getting a new computer if its that heavy just not practical to have a 800 pound computer. :-p

Quote people so we see what you said next time and you'll save a ton of money building it yourself thanks to sales. Just imagine it as expensive legos. If you dont think you should be doing something, dont do it. Plus you'll know that you accomplished something.

[Guest GRRigger]

This might change your mind. Just build it, no need even for overclocking (not build for overclocking aswell but very powerfull)

Did you ever play with Lego, Kinex, or build a model?

Building a computer is essentially the same. Only difference is when you apply the thermal paste.

You NEED to apply thermal paste? Nope. Pre applied

You just need a time to build it, thats all.

This. Exactly what I said earlier.

[NightNightDoom]

I just dont want to build one

Depends what you buy. None of my components have ever had the thermal paste pre applied.

Then you'll likely pay more for a worse system.

 

I configured one on the CyberPower site but there's now way to properly show you what it is. It came to 830 pound.

It would have been budget, but there's no way to remove the DVD drive, and there's no decent air cooled options for the CPU so I had to stick with the stock AIO water unit.

Thinking it over I probably could have ditched the K series processor, you don't need a Z87 motherboard and the stock CPU cooler probably would suffice.

Is this any good?

[Guest GRRigger]

its albright. as long as it have warranty and free shipping included

[NightNightDoom]

it does I am just worried there is something out there better than it for the same price

[Call Me Dubstep]

Im telling you right now if this is you budget & you want the most out of your money, you're going to HAVE TO build one yourself. A pc that might cost 800 pounds if you do it yourself, might cost like 1000 pounds if you buy it pre-built. There are even videos online to help you, and you have the people of the form to help you if you need the help. Just take some advice form the people here.

[NightNightDoom]

Changed my mind again I want to buy a pre made PC
