First Build

[Hysterical23]

Budget (including currency): £1000

Country: UK

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Primarily gaming but some light productive work. 

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'm planning on building my first pc but I'm very unsure of what to buy. All the build videos on YouTube I found are generally tailored to the US so the components are not always best suited to what's available here, so I thought I'd come here. I will mostly use it for gaming but I might also do some After Effects work on it but nothing extensive, just basics. Thank you.

What is your monitor resolution or is a monitor to be included in the budget?

I have a 1080p monitor but I might upgrade to 1440p down the line, but not included in the budget.

The 850 psu allows you to upgrade your gpu later on. The 120mm fan goes inside the back of that case for a rear exhaust fan.
