To get an idea, what can I build for £900 (UK).

It would be for gaming eta.. and school work.

The £900 needs to include monitor, keyboard, mouse and headphones. (plz include ideas as i do not know what really to look at)

If it could be ultra wide monitor? idk

At the price would i be looking at 1080p 60Hz?

Thanks, Max

And yes, that's an 1920x1080 60Hz IPS display and a solid SSD for your OS. You don't get the latest and greatest on the graphics side of things, but that's ultimately your choice of course.

ultrawide and a gtx 970 (its just cheaper than a 1060, get a 1060 if you want, but i put it there since they are near the same performance)

hey dude. Try an online shop called novatech.com They are base in portsmouth but they do deliver via royal mail. All of my computer parts are from there and ive had no issues what so ever. I've spent over £1000 there for all of my pc parts. Part builds, Motherboard bundles etc, 

A menace to the scammer world. They hate me wasting their time when they are conning the innocent and giving to the idiots.

I left out mouse, keyboard and headphones because they all come down to user preference. If I wanted I could have put in the CM Devastator Bundle and some headset for around £40. Besides theres cheaper ultrawides than that. https://www.amazon.co.uk/LG-25UM58-P-25-Inch-21-UltraWide/dp/B01BFH18BG/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1470609367&sr=1-1&keywords=ultrawide+monitor

the 25" ones are trash, they are like 19" tall and generally dont fill up your FOV as much as a 29" or 34" one... i personally cannot deal with anything less than 21" tall for monitors

also i own the cm storm devastator, took them 3 whole tries to give me a working keyboard and the mouse is complete shit. at least the redragon set is essentially 2 retail units in 1, the mouse isnt half bad and the keyboard has rgb led's (no controller for full spectrum lighting) but at least it has that

I had a Redragon keyboard, the spacebar broke after 3 weeks, the replacement didnt work at all, gave up on it, bought a K30 instead

at least with redragon you can see the keys without leds... the first keyboard i got had no leds, the second one didnt work, the 3rd is what i have now, and i had to return the mouse each time ($15 shipping each time, so i spend $60 on the set), the final mouse i got had a broken scroll wheel that would scroll up after scrolling down twice. i am never buying cooler master items for myself and i really dont like putting them in builds unless i have to.

no ultrawide, i5 instead. also you can go for the more aestheticly pleasing amp! extreme 970 or again, go for the rx 480/gtx 1060
