1. Budget & Location

Preferable below £1000 but i can push for £1500.

UK.

2. Aim

Main aim is to play GTA fiveM and maybe stream a little. But wanna be able to play newer games too on low settings if needed.

Needs to be a small ish case as i dont have much room. But at the same time this is my first build so preferably a case that is easy to build in.

Also i haven't added a gpu cause of the low stock but at the same time might wait till 3050 is out. So integrated graphics for now.

3. Monitors

I have one 4k 60 29inch but thinking about adding another.

Will be gaming at 1080p.

4. Peripherals

I have a mouse and keyboard in mind so good for that.

I will need windows included in price.

5. Why are you upgrading?

My laptop is getting old and slow. I currently play games on my xbox but want to get a PC so I can play different games and still do the stuff I use my laptop for.

Don't buy Windows 10, get a cheap key from someplace like Kinguin, it'll save you 100$

Consider a latest generation cpu.

The mATX case is a little larger than the H210 so it offers a slightly roomier interior. Making for easier assembly and better cooling.
