New PC Help

[goldswags]

Hey guys,

 

I have a condition whereby my hands shake a lot.  It doesnt affect gaming, but I would be too nervous to build my own PC for fear of damaging something.  I've been saving for the last few months doing overtime at work, and managed to get around £600 together (just over $750USD) and am looking for a decent pre-built PC.  I want to use it to play Dota 2, CS:GO, PU:BG and any new games that come out with decent graphics, without breaking the bank.

 

I just found this PC https://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/90DF001RUK-Lenovo-IdeaCentre-Y700-34ISH_1878940.html?gclid=CKGjnb6UrNMCFWEq0wodP48GMQ and it seems decent enough but I don't really know enough.  I'm aware GTX 960 and an i5 will probably do the trick, but don't know if these are the right types or if I'm getting ripped off, so I guess I'm just after your guys opinions or if you know any better rigs?

 

Thanks!

or make your own, $50 can go a long way in a steam sale.

i read, depends how bad or OP can instruct someone to build it, building a pc is not that hard. 

[LienusLateTips]

OP, you probably won't damage anything. But I would recommend getting a PGA chip so you won't have to balance the CPU on the pins.

Preferably 1500X or 1600 because of cache.

Although you can build better, its actually priced kinda okay for the parts it have. However, you're probably better off getting a PC built by OCUK, Scan, fiercePC ect. ect

Yah although actually I'm tempted to take what I've said back as they're pretty expensive...you need to spend something like 700 quid just for an i5 and 1060 6GB? Wut?

For cs:go and dota 2 at 1080p i dont really see a need for anything more than an i3 and the 1050, especially if you are just playing casually.
