Budget Build For Gaming

[Slaterkaz]

Hi guys, 

 

So first of all let me say I am not that tech savvy, at least I know what each competent is for, but with regards to models, numbers, performance and compatibility etc etc I am an amateur to say the least. I have read a great deal of forum posts from various places and I think I'm getting an information overload around this particular subject and price range. 

 

My head hurts a little.

 

I'm looking to spend £600 (GBP) on a gaming rig, I need the base machine of course and I need to factor in a Monitor on top of that, I already own a m&k and speakers. I do want to be able to play some newer games at medium-high settings comfortably and potentially stream games too. (maybe streaming isn't doable and I'm way over my head, but I guess it's worth asking). 

 

Also with Black Friday right around the corner am I likely to get better prices on tech stuff, even being in the UK it seems to have made it's way across the pond (Cyber Monday ?) in which case what sites or companies offer deals usually. 

 

I appreciate this is a lot of questions, so I do appreciate any and all info and your patience!

Thanks for that quick reply Aytex. 

 

Would this be able to stream games alright? Also would you suggest waiting for 'Black Friday'/'cyber Monday' or do PC parts not get discounts? 

 

Thanks again
