First PC Build

Y_Chris_Y

Can I have some help with this build please?

My budget is around £1000 including Windows.

I don't want to use microsoftswap to purchase my windows licence

The build will be used for high intensity gaming on two monitors at first and later three. Atleast 1080p.

This PC will also be used for creating animations as well as rendering them afterwards. I will be using blender, maya and adobe after effects if that helps at all.

Might want to go for a hyperthreaded CPU if you're doing animation and rendering work. I recommend to go for Haswell rather than Skylake to remain within the budget constraints:
