Help with first ever gaming PC build

[shurrow]

Hi, I've never built a PC before so I'm a complete noob and have spent the past couple days watching countless videos on youtube, scanning the web and learning and quickly forgetting loads of abbreviations. So if anyone could help out that would be ace!

 

Location and budget: UK up to £1500

Aim: Gaming, watching videos, general internet browsing

Monitors: I was hoping to hook it up to my SONY KDL-46W905A? Would that even be possible in my prince range? (complete noob)

Peripherals: not including them in overall price

Upgrading: Because I only have a macbook pro... so no decent gaming.

 

Thanks!

you have 500 pound spare should you need mouse + keyboard

[Mr.Reggin]

why would you spend  so much on a gaming pc, 1000€ are good enough, K series cpu's are so overrated too.

Thanks so much! That looks great. Well I was originally only looking to spend about £1000, but I just assumed the more money you spent the better the finished product.
