1. Budget & Location

£1200 from the UK.

2. Aim

Gaming/streaming rig capable of running most games at 1080p on high settings.

3. Monitors

Currently planning on having a single monitor setup (1080p, 144hz), but with the option to upgrade to two monitors in the future.

4. Peripherals

I don't have the monitor yet so if you have any suggestions feel free, but that'll come out of a separate budget. Otherwise I only need an OS.

5. Why are you upgrading?

My old gaming tower was built 8 years ago and I've finally decided to treat myself.


I've already had a look at what I want and I've produced a components list which I'm fairly happy with. I just wanted to get a second opinion or two.

What were the specs of the old tower? You might be able to reuse some parts. Considering the age, probably only the hard drive, but that will still allow you to buy a 1070 Ti.
