1. Budget & Location

UK. My budget is around £500. Here is my sample of planned build: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/hksvCy

2. Aim

Pc will be used for browsing and gaming on 720p to 1080p on med to high, stable 60 fps would be nice. Games that I had planned are: GTA5, Minecraft, CS, Witcher, and more standard games. 

3. Monitors

Im aiming to have around 2 monitors but at the beginning I will start only with one, the res are around 720p. But in future I'll buy 2x1080p monitors. 

4. Peripherals

I will need only OS, but im not sure with one. The full one W10 home with key or download Windows from microsoft website on usb and install the os without key. 

 

 

Thanks,

I would get a 1050 Ti/RX 470 and a better PSU (The CXM is modular and just 15ish more pounds).

Wow, I'll go for this one (hardware). But do you recommend me win 8.1 for gaming, cuz I already got some experience with win 8.1 and it's bad...

If you experience comes from the lack of a windows start button you can fix that by getting a Win 8 start button program (there are many, take a look).

 

The only issue with windows 8.1 is the lack of DX12, but DX12 have been hit and miss lately and you still get Vulkan. Up to you. 

 

Also, see if you can get a educational windows license from you school/university if you are in one. This will save up loads of cash.

Haven't got one for windows but I did get one for my office suite. It just works like the normal piece of software would work really.

 

Here is how my university does it:

See if your educational institution does the same.
