Help Configuring a PC

Budget (including currency): £1000 (GBP)

Country: UK

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mainly used for games suc as CSGO, GTA, Battlefield and everyday internet browsing.

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): looking to build a pc capable of gaming basic games from Cs upto the more demanding games such as battlefield, due to the current prices of components im going to have to use something like PCspecialist that offers finance. Ideally im looking to have the peripherals included in the budget and sufficeient storage. I configured a pc around this price point but was a little concerned of potential bottlenecks or overkill components that dont need to be there so i figured id come and ask the people who know better and are much smarter than me,YOU! Build away and thanks in advance.

Is the £1000 including a monitor and peripherals?

The more I learn, the more I realise I don't actually know anything. 

 

Recommendations: Lian Li 205m (sleek, pretty decent airflow for a non-mesh front panel and cheap), i5-10400f (Ryzen 5 3600 performance, 20% cheaper), Arctic P14 PWM fans, Logitech g305.

Yes it is

Are you willing to wait a couple of months?

Ideally I would like it ASAP, why the wait?

Because new CPUs and GPUs are coming out that will at the very least decrease prices on the current technology if not give you more value than what you can get right now.

Good idea.

 

I could help you build a PC with the prices we know right now if you would like.

i could probably save up maybe £400-£500 by the new year 

So around £1.5k with a monitor and peripherals. Okay. Direct message me so we don't spam this thread :)

not worth financing a PC unless you need it now, it'll be obsolete by the time you finish paying it off. 

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Heatsink: Gelid Phantom Black GPU: Palit RTX 3060 Ti Dual RAM: Corsair DDR4 2x8GB 3000Mhz mobo: Asus X570-P case: Fractal Design Define C PSU: Superflower Leadex Gold 650W
