Moderate (mostly) gaming PC

[Axerfen]

Budget (including currency): Roughly €1,400 for everything (Excluding shipping)

Country: Ireland

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: GTA, Overwatch, Rust (Just basic games) and occasionally light Blender/Unity/Video editing 

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): 

I am looking to get a 2-3 monitor setup with a case having a transparent glass/acrylic side panel and most likely an alright mic if it can fit in the budget.

I am only looking to spend at most 200-300 on a main monitor and a couple hundred on 1 or two side monitors

RGB in the case would be nice but not necessary 

1-2 TB of SSD storage and 16-32 GB of RAM

I have no idea how wifi for PCs work so what is best please

I will most likely be getting a Valve Index VR headset sometime in the future so if the PC would be VR ready that would be great.

 

I have been playing on a HP laptop for the past 5 years (15-24 fps on lowest settings on overwatch for reference) so this PC will be a huge (very pleasant) blow to the face with a bat.

 

Like stated above shipping is not included in the budget

 

Huge Thank you in advance

Thank you very much for your reply and I am looking for a main monitor of the average 24 inch or larger if the budget allows and one or two smaller ones size doesn't matter as long as it doesn't go below around 15 inches.

Or even just 2 monitors of the same size (at least 21-24 inches)

 

And again huge thank you for taking the time out of your day to help me who is clueless when it comes to computers and helping me choose my parts

If you want a two monitor setup you can go with these (first monitor listed in both cases is main monitor)

Three monitor setup is going to push the budget a bit but here we go:

Just a thought on the monitor config: I'd HIGHLY recommend looking for office surplus for the two side-screens... I picked up two 24" Dell Ultrasharp 2408WFP for £25 each (€30)... yes, they're ~10yrs old, 60Hz and cr@p for gaming, but 1920x120 and really solid for 90% of work... I know there was a surge in demand when lockdowns started, but I think there's a lot more going around right now as offices scale back some of their central city high density workspaces... that way you can afford a decent main screen: I'd highly recommend €375 a Gigabyte M27Q (27" / 2560x1440 / 170Hz) - the HardwareUnboxed recommendation for budget 1440P screens...

 

The only thing I think might count against the 1440P gaming screen is that you will struggle with some RTX games at that res, especially if you're aiming for the full 170Hz... but my 1660S copes fine for everything I've thrown at it.
