New £1250 Gaming PC

[monkeyman7444]

Hey everyone,

Planning on building a new PC with a budget of around £1200

All I have right now is a 1080p/60hz monitor, and literally nothing else.

My current idea for a build was this:

This build I am planning to use mainly for gaming and light video editing, and maybe a little streaming.

I was planning on upgrading and getting a new monitor, but it is not part of my budget, as i was hoping that during black Friday the price may go down significantly enough so that a  1440p/144HZ G-sync monitor may be <£350

Here's what I came up with, bigger SSD, better suited GPU for your needs, a nicer Mobo (Asus is a better quality IMO)

Faster RAM to pair with that Ryzen CPU

Windows you can pick up on Kinguin for around 20 pounds.

Might as well get the Trident RGB ram for that price then I guess.... https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/qjM323/gskill-trident-z-rgb-16gb-2-x-8gb-ddr3-3000-memory-f4-3000c16d-16gtzr
