Help with building gaming PC

T-RiX · October 6, 2017

Hi guys, I hope you all doing great. I need your help to build a gaming PC.

My budget is 1000 GBP (maybe 100 more if necessary) "all the budget just for the case and what inside the rest

such as mouse or keyboard ...etc I have them".

I'm gonna use this build mainly for overwatch and lol, editing videos and designing or painting in Photoshop, paint tool sai or clip studio.

I have FHD (1920x1080) monitor so I want the PC run games at this resolution. I'm currently living in the UK, Wales, Cardiff, and I prefer using

amazon but if there a better choice then amazon please tell me.

thank you guys and I look forward to see your recommendations.

RAM pricing is off as well. A bunch of Amazon UK prices on PCPP are wrong, it's really weird. He can expect to pay about £120 for 16GB RAM. I also just noticed the Flare X I recommended isn't even available lmfao. Both our suggestions are pretty similar so I've worked with them to try make them just a bit better;

OP, 8GB RAM for now because 16GB RAM pricing and availability is god awful in the UK for some reason. Spend the extra £30 for the Meshify C if you want, it's a better case(it's really great), but the P300 is a great budget option. For PSU, I'd stick with the CX450M to save some money, as it's perfectly adequate. If you were to spend more on PSU, I'd recommend an EVGA 550W G2/G3 for £70-75. I'd get the Asus Prime mobo over the MSI board because it's nicer and the UEFI is much better, but the MSI mobo is fine and an easy way to save £20 if you want. Lastly, for storage, I went with the 250GB SSD and 1TB HDD here, but like before, I'd recommend getting a 500GB 850 EVO instead, or a 525GB MX300 for £10 less than that. 500-525GB is plenty storage to last you a while, and then you can easily(and cheaply) add an HDD in the future.
