1. Budget & Location

My location is the UK and my budget is £950 as stated above and all parts must be bought from Amazon.co.uk

2. Aim

The aim of this build is for triple A gaming in games such as GTA 5, Fallout 4, The Witcher 3, along with less demanding games such as Cities:Skylines and CSGO. This build will also be used for music production so it must run FL studio but that's not hard to run anyways.

3. Monitors

I plan on running only 1 1920x1080 monitor at the moment that is 144hz for gaming but may upgrade to 3 in the future, but that is only a slight possibility,

4. Peripherals

I need to purchase a gaming mouse and maybe a mechanical keyboard such as the CM Storm Quickfire but that will most likely be later because I already have a membrane keyboard at the moment and I don't need a headset because I use a Bose headset anyways with a mod mic. I won't be buying an OS or a hardrive because I will get them from an old PC I have.

5. Why are you upgrading?

The reason I'm upgrading is because the current system I have is a 6 year old PC with an extremely bad graphics card with 512mb of VRAM and DDR 3 RAM and there is nothing worth salvaging other than the OS and hardrive.

This is the parts list I have come up with so far so tell me if this is the best value and performance I can get at this price range and if it will run the games I want to run well. Here it is; http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Mullen/saved/QKmcCJ

I'm a beast
